Stacey Gillian Abe


What We Wanted (detail), 2022, Published by Unit London

Stacey Gillian Abe’s work reflects her past and her memories, highlighting her personal experiences and her relationships to her community. The autobiographical dimension of her work confronts traditional depictions of the Black body, drawing attention to more cerebral aspects and challenging the colonial lens.

Atelier JI was delighted to work on the ‘What We Wanted’ limited edition for Unit London Editions and Stacey Gillian Abe to coincide with her first solo exhibition ‘Shrub-let of Old Ayivu’ at Unit London in 2022.
