Hakeem Adewumi: Possession of A Recalcitrant Dream, 2024

This summer, the digital photo collage that graces the Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade presents artist Hakeem Adewumi (he/him), part of the Artists-in-Residence program, posing with tenderness and obscurity. By replacing his head with a mythical Hydra, Adewumi asks us to immediately contend with a blend of fantasy and desire. Here, Adewumi refuses to be seen as a singular being, and presents an invitation to linger deeper in the power of the unknown. This public installation serves as a mirror for visitors to contend with the hidden parts of themselves reflected through the artist’s self portrait.
