Adebunmi Gbadebo is a trailblazer in today’s art world. As the descendant of enslaved African Americans, this artist has worked for years to retrace and reclaim her lineage. As a result, her emotive works are unlike anything else you’ll find in your average gallery.
But Gbadebo doesn’t work in traditional mediums like paint or charcoal. Rather, her preferred materials include soil, rice, and even human hair.
