Toyin Ojih Odutola x Barbican: 'A Countervailing Theory'

Documentation of my visit to see this highly coveted and anticipated exhibition at the Barbican Theatre. Toyin Ojih Odutola, a Nigerian born-American bred artist, boasts a level of skill that is encompassed in the depths of detail and expressionism oozing from her collection. Nevertheless, this exhibition explains how such a powerful narrative can be equally addressed and expressed through the work of the artist. This story isn't just about a flipped script, but it is also on the theory of "countervailing" itself. A jaw-dropping visual journey into the wilderness of power. Who should have it and how it should be wielded?
