Renee Osubu is an award-winning British Nigerian photographer and film director from London. She often investigates themes about community, identity, race, and childhood using the nuances of everyday life as her visual language. She is best known for her on-going photography series Dear Philadelphia, which over time became a film marking the relationship she cultivated with a neighborhood in North Philadelphia. Osubu’s exhibition at TILT is a continuation of this project, providing an opportunity for the audience to experience new and early artwork from the series woven together with interviews between the artist and community members. Like much of Osubu’s work, Dear Philadelphia harnesses the power of documentation in framing and normalizing the tenderness of the Black family, while maintaining a specific focus on fatherhood.
