Iyapo Repository

Iyapo Repository

An exhibition of digital and physical artifacts created to affirm and project the future of people of African descent, by New York artists Salome Asega and Ayodamola Tanimowo Okunseinde.

 Through the Iyapo Repository, the artists host workshops where participants from various diasporic regions have contributed to the future of these communities as “archivists of a museum of the future,” envisioning new artifacts of technological importance which the artists, in turn, interpret and generate. 

Exhibition Discussion
There will be a talk about the exhibition taking place at 7PM during the September 22nd Opening Reception. Artists Asega and Okunseinde join Twin Cities academics, artists, and officials, to discuss the self-determining and collective actions necessary for building future histories and shaping your own city.

Gallery Hours:
Monday – Friday: 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. 
Thursdays: 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
