As long as human beings have walked, have travelled from or to, they have interpreted their lives in terms of travel, quest, passage, voyaging, pilgrimage, exile, homelessness, homecoming, wandering, sojourning. Pilgrimage explores individual human sojourn in search of the sacred or the self. A separation or detachment from the ordinary leads to an ambiguous outsider status and an in-between phase of ambiguity – a walking in the margins termed liminality.  Unlike religious traditions, there is no destination. The journey remains outwards and inwards.

Working primarily with photography, Adeola Olagunju's artistic practice encompasses a range of media including video, painting and collage.  She explores themes including her environment, self and memory using both documentary and conceptual approaches. Adeola has attended residencies at FFT Düsseldorf/Savvy Contemporary in Germany; Kuona Trust Centre for Visual Art in Nairobi, Kenya; and the Lagos Photo Summer School exchange programme in Berlin, Germany.  She has participated in photography master classes and exhibitions locally and internationally. Adeola was the recipient of the Young Art Fund Amsterdam Award (2013) and the Lagos Photo Festival Award (2012).
