Organised by The Photography Foundation
Welcome to Pride: A Discussion & Poetry Evening with Tolu Elusade!
Join us for an intimate gathering at The Photography Foundation Studio where we will delve into Tolu Elusade's issue-led commercial Fashion photography highlighting the LGBTQIA+ comunity. You will also enjoy their soul-stirring poetry and get a chance to share your own poems during the open mic at the end.
This event is a celebration of diversity, inclusion, and self-expression. Anyone can join and we particularly welcome people from the LGBTQIA+ community. See you there!
About the organisers
The Photography Foundation was created to provide pathways to professional photography for less advantaged young adults in London by offering education, practical experience, and routes to a career in the creative industries. The Photography Foundation acknowledges that commercial photography can be a stressful career and feel isolating at times. Our events are intended to promote wellbeing and the importance of making time for inspiration and creativity in your practice in order to maintain a sustainable career.
Tolu Elusadé, Yoruba Londoner, Visual Artist, Poet and Storyteller.
Using analogue photography and poetry as creative mediums, Elusadé aims to document, archive and preserve ideas cultivated from the desire to deeply understand themselves and the world around them. At the heart of their practice, they connect intergenerational communities with art activism, preserving aural and tangible histories through authentic creation. Aiming to create and share imagery to illuminate the magic in the mundane, Elusadé curates dialogue reflective of their own experience in an effort to highlight the delicate and nuanced ways in which they choose to manoeuvre through the complexities of being.
