Sergio Aparicio - OKOBÉ

Sergio Aparicio is an afro visual artist and professional photographer also known as OKOBÉ. Born in Barcelona, he now currently resides in London.

Growing up he was surrounded by his family who were jazz musicians, where he first started displaying his artistic expressions through the underground music scene in Barcelona. During this time, he also completed a university degree with a masters in African History. It was through this course that his exploration into African identity begun, thus igniting his personal quest - eventually leading him to connect with his ancestors through photography. Interweaving the blindness that his great-grandma suffered, his work explores many themes such as the dystopia between race, racial politics, and identity through capturing the reflection of melanin to translate this social dilemma to his artworks.

His work has exhibited at the renowned Somerset House in London, and his solo exhibition "Blacktion" debuted across numerous galleries in London and Barcelona. OKOBÉ has also collaborated with global international artists such as Laura Mvula, Common, Nakhane, 1000Kings, and companies such as Warner, Atlantic Records, and Jazz...
