You Are An Artist: Words of Affirmation
Tate Publishing

In collaboration with Tate Publishing, Yinka Ilori presents his debut book, You Are An Artist: Words of Affirmation. It is a cheerful and considered collection of reflectionscreated to uplift, inspire, and empower readers on their creative journeys.

Through a series of affirmations and personal insights, Ilori encourages readers to recognise and embrace the artistic potential that lives within all of us. His message is clear: creativity is not limited to a select few. It is a gift we all carry, and one we must hold onto with confidence and joy.

The book embodies Ilori’s long-standing commitment to inclusivity and creative empowerment. Known for his bold use of colour and storytelling in both design and public art, Ilori draws on his own experience to inspire others, particularly those from underrepresented communities, to see themselves as artists and changemakers.

The book shall also serve as a tool for education, contributing to a contemporary cultural conversation around art and design, encouraging new generations to explore their creative identities.
