Adenike Amin is a creative force, equal parts artist, mystic, and cultural visionary. Hailing from East Oakland, she moves through the world with the sharp eye of a documentarian and the soul of a poet. A multidisciplinary artist and Pan-Africanist, her work is a collision of social impact, design, literature, photography, film, and education; each medium a conduit for deeper truths.

Trained in Visual Arts with a minor in Meditative Studies at SUNY Purchase, Adenike wields aesthetics like a scalpel, slicing through the noise to uncover what is raw, urgent, and necessary. As the Storytelling Lead at BLACspace Cooperative, she architects narratives that reinforce Black-led arts and culture movements in Oakland, treating storytelling as an act of defiance, and a blueprint for liberation.

At the crossroads of spirituality, Black power, and radical imagination, Adenike’s work is an invocation, a call to see, to feel, and ultimately, to remember who we are.
