If you missed it, the doors are still open, come experience the exhibition before it closes on Tuesday, December 16th.
Informed by his research on the National Museum of Scotland’s African collections, ‘Okolo’ by Scottish-Nigerian artist and printmaker Nkem Okwechime looks at the intersection of European and West African identity.
Using printmaking as both memory and method, he reconstructs ancestral figures through shifting palettes, papers, and prints. In his hands, the deities become portals reshaped by distance, migration, and the act of remembering across borders.

Ade Adekola stretches the possibilities of photography into the tactile world, weaving it into prints, textiles, and animated lightboxes.
His series “Symbols as Essence” turns to Adinkra signs and cultural motifs as containers of identity, spirituality, and resilience. Alongside, we present a selection from his “Transformation Series [Cities]”, a presentation of transformed architectural photographs drawn from his travels. This body of work reveals how his conceptual practice expresses his visual sensitivity and architectural training.

Orry Shenjobi’s mixed media works, PEOPLE, invites us into a space of shared humanity. Her photographic prints, layered and multiplied, ask us to consider what we recognize in one another.
“To see others,” she writes, “is to see oneself… in these faces, we find reflections of joy, sorrow, contemplation, and resilience.” Her work superimposes memory and emotion, turning private moments into mirrors.
