March 2025: Recipient 54, Princess Arinola Adegbite
the 54th Recipient of the White Pube Creatives Grant is … Princess Arinola Adegbite! Princess is a poet musician and filmmaker – she makes music and poetry under the name P.A.BITEZ. We really enjoyed the fact that her creative practice spans those three mediums, does all three amazingly well, fucks with form and output deftly, then merges them all back together to make something more unweildy and powerful. it makes for a compelling portrait of an artist, and it makes for interesting work that we hope you’ll enjoy as much as we did! Princess is sharing 3 videos of her work, linked below.
