“I’m an archivist operating from the position of a blue-collar builder. Call me the janitorial staff if you want. I’m familiar with plumbing. I know how to fix your walls and perhaps place art on them. And I know for a fact, at some point, you’re going to need my services.”
#OnyedikaChuke
In a landscape where galleries often chase the illusion of effortless success, Onyedika Chuke (onyedikachuke) founding director & curator storage.archive, is transparent about the failures and the sheer force of will required to do things differently. Creative consultant and cultural strategist Vajra Kingsley (vajra_kingsley) sat down with Chuke for Elephant.
