ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「A Brooklyn-born, queer artist of Nigerian descent, Adejoke Tugbiyele repurposed aso oke (a traditional Yoruba fabric) to create Gele Pride Flag—a work that she has carried in demonstrations and marches in Nigera and the U.S. A transcultural symbol of pride and protest, the banner reinforces the fact that the modern-day LGBTQ+ rights movement owes to a history of revolt and uprising. In the U.S., the 1969 Stonewall Riots were ignited by Black and Latinx trans women, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. For Tugbiyele, revolution remains an important part of queer identity. As the artist explains, “One day I woke up and it dawned on me that simply choosing to be me WAS the protest.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We’re honoring #PrideMonth with a weekly look at LGBTQ+ artists who use languages of craft, textile, and assemblage to build connection, community, visibility, and change. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Adejoke Tugbiyele (American, born 1977).
