Rochelle Wilson is a London based artist born to first generation Caribbean parents. She is a Writer-Director whose practice embraces collaboration and exploration through the medium of storytelling. Her art and productions centre on Caribbean stories, gender, and Yoruba mythology. She strives to develop stories and visuals that merge imagination and identity.
