About

Orímọlóyè Fáṣínà (b. 1985, Ìbàdàn) is a photographer and writer, and an initiated babaláwo of the Ọ̀yọ́-Yoruba lineage. He works from inside the tradition, photographing ritual as a participant, not an observer.

His practice asks how a system of knowledge, principally the Yoruba system of Ifá, stays alive as it is challenged by an ocean, centuries of separation and colonial oppression, and now even a network signal: what survives the crossing, what the passage costs, and who pays.
