OLUSEYE is a Nigerian-Canadian artist. Using “diasporic debris” — a term he uses to describe the artifacts he collects on his trans-Atlantic travels — he traces Blackness through its multifaceted migrations and manifestations. These transformational objects are recast into sculpture, installation, performance, and photography, invoking his personal narratives within a broader examination of Black and Diasporic identity, migration, and African spiritual traditions. He has exhibited at The Art Gallery of Ontario (2025), The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (2025), The Museum of the African Diaspora, San Fransisco (2024), Daniel Faria Gallery, Toronto (2024), Southern Guild Gallery, Cape Town (2023), The Gardiner Museum, Toronto (2023), Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo (2022), Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (2021), and The Agnes Etherington Art Center, Queen’s University, Kingston (2021).
