Instructor Name: Apanaki Temitayo
Apanaki Temitayo is a disabled artist and advocate who explores themes of identity, mental wellness, and the African diaspora. Through mixed-media textile collage, using African fabrics, Apanaki creates intimate portraits and cultural narratives that engage viewers in a dialogue about heritage, resilience, and personal healing.
