The exhibition brings together four distinct, influential international drawing positions. Each of the presented artist works in a wide range of Media, from Performance to Video as well as Painting and Photography. For each of these artists, drawing is not only at the core of their practice, but it is also the very instinct of their ideas and ruminations.

In co-curating this show with renowned curator Azu Nwagbogu, the gallery aims to create a dialogue with contemporary African and diasporic positions.
