Dictionary of artists
Our artists form a living network of contemporary voices connected through exchange, movement, memory, and shared creative practice. The iyaAco Foundation brings together artists from Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the wider Black Atlantic, creating space for new encounters, cross-cultural dialogue, and collaborative discovery.
Through residencies, partnerships, and the sharing of skills and knowledge, we support artists whose work explores identity, heritage, displacement, place, transformation, and the evolving relationships between communities across continents. Each artist contributes to a wider conversation about culture, history, and the possibilities that emerge when creative worlds meet.
