black-arts.uk is a website started by me, Fola Amuludun. Welcome!

BIO

I studied English Literature at the University of Cambridge, where I researched the (de)colonisation of Yorùbá Literature in D.O. Fagunwa’s Ògbójú Ọdẹ Nínú Igbó Irúnmolè and Wole Soyinka’s The Lion and the Jewel.

This research interest has influenced the type of theatre I go and see. I like watching productions that are made by Black people, for Black people, and are socially current. I am particularly interested in watching those that decolonise, politicise, and challenge.

I am also passionate about Black productions that explore LGBT+ experiences and the lives of young people, and productions that adapt classical literature in any capacity.
