Koshoni

Artist

Buki Koshoni is a British Nigerian artist whose practice spans visual art, film, music and narrative.

RAWis the independent creative company built around Koshoni's artistic practice.

For more than two decades, his practice has been concerned with people, identity, culture, power, beauty and resistance. Photography was where the practice began, but it was never intended to be its boundary.

Today, Koshoni works across still and moving image, sound and narrative, moving between visual art, filmmaking, music and screenwriting to make work that exists on its own terms.

The idea comes first.

Authorship & Vision
Fifteen years ago I started as an artist making work to sell, for brands and for collectors. That's still true today, but it's no longer the whole story. Over fifteen years, what began as an individual creative practice grew into something bigger: a studio with three core disciplines, art, film and music, each one built, designed, and run by me.
