Julianknxx (Freetown, 1987. Lives in London) is a poet and visual artist whose practice moves between the written word, music, visual art, and installation. His work explores themes of heritage, loss, and belonging, and how these elements shape both personal and collective narratives. With a critical engagement with art history and philosophy, he uses his own journey as a prism to deconstruct dominant perspectives on African art, thought, history, and culture. Through his projects, he builds a living archive of African diasporic experiences. His work has been presented at institutions such as the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (Salt Lake City), Whitechapel Gallery (London), Matadero Madrid, and Franklin Street Works (Stamford, 2020).
