Greetings and welcome to the fourth edition of Studio Manager Picks! If you are new here, I am Kemi Akinmboni, Studio Manager at Abi Salami Studio and each week, I select a piece by Abi Salami that speaks to me and provide you with a deeper dive into the meaning behind the work. Keep reading to see this week’s featured piece.
BARBIE WHO?

In this week's edition of our Studio Manager Picks, I’ve decided to pick one of Abi’s works on paper. I was particularly drawn to Barbie Who because of its defiant and bold messaging. Abi is not the type of artist who is afraid of being provocative and that’s why I thought this week’s pick would be the perfect work to speak to her about. Check out her 90 second interview here!
