About
Omolola Feyisara Sunday is a visual artist, lecturer and researcher whose practice integrates graphic design, printmaking, photography and African visual culture. He holds a B.A. (2001) and M.F.A. (2007) in Fine Arts (Graphics) from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, with postgraduate research in African Art Studies focused on the history of photography in Lagos (2021). He has taught at Olabisi Onabanjo University (2014–2021) and, since 2021, at Mountain Top University, where he is Lecturer II in Fine and Applied Arts with sixteen years of teaching experience as of 2025. His teaching covers drawing, painting, photography, graphic theory, digital art and animation. His research trajectory has evolved from concerns about the decline of fine art teaching in Nigerian secondary schools and its implications for technological development to studies of billboard advertising and Yoruba motifs, signs and symbols as vehicles for cultural identity and preservation. His current work, stemming from his M.Phil., examines photographic archives as epistemological narratives for documenting and preserving African visual culture, which his ongoing PhD extends by using historical photographs to investigate the history of Lagos State.
