Tolu Elusadé

Artists

Yoruba Londoner, visual artist and storyteller. 

Using analogue photography and poetry as creative mediums, Tolu aims to document, archive and preserve ideas cultivated from the desire to deeply understand themselves and the world around them.

At the heart of her practice, she connects intergenerational communities with art activism, preserving aural and tangible histories through authentic creation.

Aiming to create and share imagery to illuminate the magic in the mundane, Tolu curates dialogue reflective of their own experience in an effort to highlight the delicate and nuanced ways in which they choose to manoeuvre through the complexities of being. 

2025

In 2025 Peckham Platform partnered with Maximus to commission artist Tolu Elusadé to create a largescale billboard image displayed on Peckham’s Rye Lane. This was part of Memories for the Future, a hyperlocal and community-led programme that researches and responds to the intangible heritage of the people who shaped Peckham’s iconic Rye Lane.
