Joke Amusan is a German-Nigerian artist based in London, England. Her art practice illuminates the rich and multifaceted experiences of Black womanhood. Through her exploration of identity, heritage, and migration, she creates immersive installations and evocative sculptures that engage multiple senses. Challenging preconceived notions and perceptions. Her art serves as a conversational bridge: inspiring women to come together, share their stories, and unapologetically embrace their authentic selves.
Joke’s work has been exhibited across the UK, USA, and Europe in renowned galleries such as Tate Modern, The ICA, and The African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta. In recognition of her practice, she received the Thameslink Art Award in 2025, was a finalist in The Ingram Prize in 2023, and was nominated for the “Female Founder” award in The Independent Awards in 2022.
She strives to help build community by bringing people together and sharing space together through her creative workshops. To create a safe place where we uplift and empower each other. Where stories can be shared and creative juices can freely flow.
Joke studied Art & English Literature at The University of Reading with a term in Zürich, Switzerland at F+F Schüle für Kunst und Design.
