Adèle Oliver is an artist, scholar, and linguist from Birmingham. She graduated from SOAS, University of London with an MA in Postcolonial Studies after completing an undergraduate degree in Portuguese and Linguistics. Her work, in its recognition of overlooked perspectives, identifies and amplifies side-lined voices in art and popular culture. Adèle’s MA dissertation focused on the production, consumption, and criminalisation of UK drill and its inextricable connection to British colonialism, and concepts of crime. As a Black Brit of Jamaican descent, personal interest drives Adèle’s intellectual commitment to unravelling histories (and subsequent epistemologies) using an acutely critical lens. Outside of her academic work, Adèle is a music producer and artist.
