This free display coincides with London Design Festival 2022 and delves into the colourful world of artist and designer Yinka Ilori. PARABLES FOR HAPPINESS celebrates a unique mix of cultural influences and unpacks the ingredients of a diasporic visual language. This display highlights some of the most important aspects of Ilori’s work – such as his billboard graphics that promote joy – and will place them beside key influences, especially Nigerian textiles. These African fabrics of his childhood are the foundation of his practice, and he regularly captures the colourful geometric patterns that feature in Nigerian design in his work. #ParablesForHappiness
