“As the Curator and Audience See It”

Event: NABA London Panel Talk. Italian Design: Tradition, Innovation and Global Impact.

Discipline: Participatory Documentary Photography

As a participatory documentary photography lead, maintaining a dual role as both an active facilitator and visual documentarian allows for intentional control over the technical and aesthetic quality of the outputs. This ensures that the resulting imagery meets the rigorous standards required for exhibition and publication by project leads and curators like Nike Awoyinka.

Curator Reflection

Reflecting on the impact of the documentation, curator Nike Awoyinka shared:

“Ayodeji, thank you so much for coming through for me, as you always do. Honestly, from the moment you walked in and just quietly started taking photographs, doing what you do, it meant so much to me. No fuss, no asking what was needed; you just got on with it. I don’t take that kind of support for granted. I really hope you got a chance to join the discussion and were not behind the camera the whole time!”
