Olalekan Jeyifous (US, b. Nigeria, 1977) is an artist, architect, and designer whose practice merges speculative architecture and social commentary to imagine possible alternative futures for urban spaces. Through his work, Jeyifous explores how the construction of environments can address critical issues like displacement, social equity, and ecological justice. His exhibition at the Walker, which takes inspiration from the Mississippi River and the novel The Famished Road by Ben Okri, treats the river as a site and symbol of memory, transformation, and human intervention into the natural world.
