Alchemies of Mutable Selfhood: ọmọlólù refilwe bàbàtùdé and viento izquierdo ugaz Feb 23, 6:30PM EST- 8:30 PM EST |
|
Come take part in an evening of revival inspired by the work of Not Me, Not That, Not Nothing Either. Through words and sounds, artists and collaborators ọmọlólù refilwe bàbàtùdé, and Leslie-Lohman Artist Fellow viento izquierdo ugaz revisit past selves and explore what it means to call on them in a process of recovery.
In reflection of the exhibition’s generative understanding of fragmentation, viento and ọmọlólù present a visual poetic concert assembling self-portraiture through poetry, song and moving image. Together, they put their cycles of becoming in dialogue to hold space for the different journeys of regeneration that we all deserve. Register here for the event. |
