Join us to celebrate artist Kambui Olujimi, 2025 recipient of Bemis Center’s Ree Kaneko Award, as we learn about his current practice and how it connects to his experience as a Bemis alum.Kambui Olujimi first joined the Bemis community as an artist-in-residence in 2009 and later returned as a participating artist in the group exhibitions Time + Space: Futures in 2016 and All Together, Amongst Many: Reflections on Empathy in 2021. Over the years, his interdisciplinary practice—spanning painting, sculpture, installation, photography, writing, video, and performance—has gained national and international recognition for its incisive examinations of history, myth, and the social conventions that shape collective memory.
Working across mediums, Olujimi excavates the language and aesthetics of cultural “inevitabilities,” rendering them visible and questioning their assumed permanence. His works have premiered at major institutions and festivals worldwide, and he has received numerous fellowships, grants, and residencies supporting his evolving practice.
