Adéniké Amin is a creative force, equal parts artist, mystic, and cultural visionary. As the Storytelling Lead at BLACspace Cooperative, she architects narratives that reinforce Black-led arts and culture movements in Oakland, treating storytelling as an act of defiance, and a blueprint for liberation. Trained in Visual Arts with a minor in Meditative Studies at SUNY Purchase, Adéniké stands in the lineage of the Black arts avant-garde and wields aesthetics like a scalpel, slicing through the noise to uncover what is raw, urgent, and necessary.

As an East Oakland native, and self-proclaimed “Cali-Yorker” she moves through the world with the sharp eye of a documentarian and the soul of a poet. A multidisciplinary artist and Pan-Africanist, her work is a hybrid of social impact, photography, literature, film, design, and education.
