Bimpé Fageyinbo is a Nigerian artist whose work as a poet, filmmaker, and photographer signals one of the most distinctive emerging voices in contemporary storytelling. Working across poetry, film, prose, and documentary photography, her practice explores the human experience through a deeply poetic, experimental, and visually arresting lens. Blending intimate human narratives with social anthropological inquiry, Fageyinbo creates work that is both emotionally resonant and formally innovative.

Fageyinbo is the author of so maybe that’s the bee’s weakness and what was me, the first two books in an ongoing memoir series. Her collaborative literary work includes the A Womb of Violet Anthologies, which is archived in the collections of institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art Library, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Library of Congress.

Her narrative short film boju weyín, adapted from so maybe that’s the bee’s weakness, translates her literary voice into a striking cinematic language. The film received the Honorable Mention Award for Best Narrative Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards and the Honorable Mention Award for Best Narrative Experimental Film at the Urbanworld Film Festival.

Her commissioned work includes freedom for freedom, written and performed for the historic Harriet Tubman Monument Unveiling ceremony presented by Audible and the City of Newark. Later adapted into an award-winning short film directed by Yuri Alves, the project received the Jury’s Stellar Award at the 43rd Annual Thomas Edison Film Festival, screened at the National Gallery of Art, and was featured on PBS.

With a multidisciplinary practice spanning literature, cinema, and visual art, Fageyinbo is building a body of work defined by lyrical precision, cultural depth, and cinematic ambition. She is currently developing her third literary project, a feature-length screenplay, and a documentary photography project examining mobility, migration, and everyday life in Nigeria.
