If anyone wants to contribute to this page please do so. I have only just started this page but thought it was time there was a Wiki bio of Rotimi considering the amount of influence he had and the amount of info available about him. Jkslouth (talk) 16:43, 2 May 2010 (UTC)jkslouth[reply]

Hello! I have to evaluate an article for a class, and I chose your article to do so. The two questions that I was following were "Is the article referenced properly" and "is everything relevant to the topic?" Everything was referenced correctly and all the sources were filled with a lot of great information about Rotimi. I didn't see any problems at all with the referencing. The topic stayed coherent and relevant to the topic and there wasn't any place within the article that I felt strayed from it. I would love to see more information regarding examples of his work. I'm excited to see this article grow, and thank you for writing it! ChloeJBorders (talk) 21:31, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

From Nigeria and From England

Can someone explain the logic of this article being in both Category:LGBT people from England and Category:LGBT people from Nigeria? --Fæ (talk) 03:56, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brixton Art Gallery

Rotimi exhibited at the large gallery run by the Brixton Artists Collective. He exhibited in three group shows at the Gallery - 'No Comment' Dec 1984; 'Seeing Diversity' Feb 1985 and the Annual Members Show Nov 1985. It would be good to know the other places he exhibited - in the light of his status now and how little exposure his work had in his lifetime.

Andrew Hurman who has the archive on BAC has sent me a list of other exhibitions that Rotimi was in:

Same Difference - group show at Camerawork July 1986

Yoruba Light for Modern Living - one-person show at Riverside Studios foyer August 1986

Black and White Males - one-person show to launch book of the same name at the Submarine Gallery July 1988

And the INIVA/Chelsea College book Recordings: A Select Bibliography of Contemporary African, Afro-Caribbean and Asian British Art listing on Rotimi mentions 2 shows specifically:

The Invisible Man - group show at Goldsmith's Gallery 1988

?? 1988 North-South Exposures - House of Commons An Autograph exhibition. Frontline preview and photograph.

December 1988 Present Times Brixton Art Gallery (at BEC) Frontline preview photograph.

US/UK Photography Exchange - touring group show at Camerawork & Jamaica Arts Centre, New York 1989

And amongst the bibliography reference is made to:

Bodies of Experience: Stories about Living with HIV which was a group show at Camerawork in 1989

March 1990 Autoportraits Camerawork RF-K included in the publicity for the exhibition but work not shown due to his sudden death in December 1989.

December 1990 Memorial Retrospective Exhibition 198 Gallery Brian Kennedy, City Limits magazine makes a request for donations to fund the exhibition. Poster-catalogue essays by Alex Hirst and Stuart Hall.

Does this mean its time to have a new sub-section on his exhibitions/ I think so. Szczels (talk) 16:56, 6 November 2018 (UTC) Update with more info from Andrew Hurman Szczels (talk) 21:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just added this material above yesterday but I don't think I was signed in... Szczels (talk) 12:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update

There is a request for 'citations' to some of the exhibitions. Most of the material supplied by the archivist of Brixton Art Gallery Andrew Hurman is in the nature of primary sources like flyers or exhibition invitations. These could be uploaded but the nature of copyright is not known. Any advice? Szczels (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
