Taiye Idahor (b.84) is a visual artist living and working in Lagos Nigeria. She studied Fine art and Sculpture at the Yaba college of Technology Lagos. Although she graduated with a sculpture diploma in 2007, Taiye’s work is multidisciplinary, incorporating drawing, sculpture, collage and more recently painting and printmaking to articulate ideas of women’s identity while using “hair” as a consistent visual language in her work. Taiye Idahor’s work further explores subjects of memory, culture, tradition and modernity in relation to women’s interactions and navigation of the modern world. These interests have also set her on a path of constantly seeking ways to subsume these feminine histories, while also excavating her own ancestry and stories from her hometown of Benin City. Taiye Idahor exhibits locally and abroad, and her work forms part of the permanent collections of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art South Africa, the National Gallery of Canada Ottawa, Princeton University Art Museum, The Stanley Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum in New York amongst others.
