Independent Curator
Founder & Director The Residency
„The Greatest Source of my Longing“ centres family experience. The three exhibiting artists, Ofunne Azinge, Remi Ajani and Esiri Erheriene-Essi, explore nostalgia, memory and dialogue between chosen families.
The exhibited works echo ongoing themes of generation, social commentary and the home. With a focus on figuration, the artworks inspire nostalgia and invite stories.
Viewers are invited as impartial onlookers to the domestic happenings. They do not directly belong, but observe the visual dynamics and relationships painted. Their place is to distinguish the experiences; the narrative; the space.
