S02E01 - Modé Aderinokun
from Made It Here Podcast Hosted by Kelo Okeke
Modé Aderinokun had always communicated through her art for as long as she can remember and grew as an artist with the support and nurture from her parents, especially her mum who would file away and preserve art that Mode created as a kid. Her parents also played a role in her choice of what to study in university, but not in the way that you’d imagine. Her dad was a banker and not just any banker, but the co-founder of Guaranty Trust Bank, one of Nigeria’s largest banks and her mum was a lawyer. So Mode made up her mind not to have anything to do with either banking and finance or law. Now, Art and computers came naturally to her so she decided to combine them and study animation and that’s when her journey truly begins. On this episode, we get a very rare behind the scenes glimpse into Mode’s story, her thoughts on ownership, mental health, people’s perception of artists in Nigeria, monetizing art and a whole lot more.
