My name is Adeola Enigbokan. I am an artist, researcher, writer and teacher based in New York City. My artistic/research practice involves creating interventions, which provide an alternative framework for approaching urban “problems.” The goal is not to locate “solutions,” but to ask questions about the way of stating the problem. This practice has often involved the use of historical artifacts and archives, everyday public spaces, practices and language to create opportunities in which participants might reconsider their own ways of thinking and moving in the city. I have presented work in diverse venues: El Museo del Barrio, ConfluxCity Festival, Anthology Film Archive in New York, The Royal Institute for British Architects, The Royal Geographical Society in London and the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem. I teach Urban Studies, Media Studies, Sociology and Anthropology at universities in New York City, while completing a doctorate in Environmental Psychology at the City University of New York.
