Still thinking about the Bank Holiday…..
A night filled with incredible food, meaningful conversation, art, and OOM in the gorgeous @project__loop Seeing so many amazing people gathered around one table, we wish we could do this every night! 🤍
Huge thank you to @no.cluewhatimdoin for capturing the evening so perfectly, @behosted__ for bringing such thoughtful beauty and calm to the space, and @boldbeanco for supplying their delicious beans for two of our sharing plates ✨
Still thinking about this weekend’s OOM Community Supper Club ❤️
A huge thank you to everyone who came and who helped us make this happen, old friends, new faces, family, and everyone in between. These evenings only happen because people show up with openness, energy and curiosity, and we never take that for granted.
Big love to @project__loop & @aliin_sitoe for letting us bring OOM into such an amazing space, the incredibly talented chefs Ben & Will, to Becky & Ellie from @behosted__ for helping make the tables and bar area look so beautiful, and to Louis @no.cluewhatimdoin for capturing the evening so perfectly 📸
Community has always been at the heart of OOM. Sharing food, conversation and space with people, slowing down long enough to connect properly, is the reason we do this. In a world that can feel increasingly disconnected, nights like this remind us how important it is to gather, create and celebrate together.
This was the first of what we hope will become an ongoing series of community and social events and we honestly can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been working on.
Thank you for being part of the beginning ❤️✨ Stay tuned for more amazing 📸
Twelve spaces, countless stories. Step into Black art this May and feel history, identity, and imagination unfold.

‘Le Protecteur’ by Aliou Diack, currently on display at Project Loop in Haggerston as part of his solo exhibition ‘Into The Foetus’, which continues until May 9th.
“Woman is the most extraordinary thing that God has created. First, she is His own laboratory, His own workshop in which He Himself works. He sends neither angel nor spirit there. It is in the woman’s womb that a drop of water is transformed into a human being.” - Amadou Hampâté Bâ
“Echoing the thoughts of Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Malian writer, historian and ethnologist, Aliou Diack explores the figure of the woman emerging as a site of sacred creation. Described as God’s own “laboratory,” she embodies a space where life takes form through a direct and unmediated divine act.
In this vision, the womb becomes more than a biological locus but it is a spiritual terrain, a generative matrix where matter transforms into being. Woman is thus not only a creation, but a vessel of creation itself, carrying within her the mystery and continuity of life.
Diack’s canvases are haunted by animal presences that emerge and dissolve, half-formed, as if appearing from memory or dream. These figures float within layers of natural pigments drawn from plants and trees in his native Senegal, materials imbued with ancestral knowledge and ritual significance. His process; ritualistic, repetitive and meditative echoes the act of cultivation: sowing, tending, and allowing forms to emerge organically.
Into the Foetus is a meditation on creation and spirituality as inseparable. To create is to touch the source of life itself; to explore the origins of being is to move toward the divine. In these works, Diack traces a space where body, spirit, and world converge, where creation is at once intimate, ancestral, and universal. In this light, the figure of the woman, the act of creation, and the gesture of painting align within a shared cosmology. One that honors origin, transmission, and the continuous unfolding of life.” - Project Loop

Final days: Camille Provost: Excessive Refinement
📍 @project__loop
Hoxton
East London
Closing 14 March ‘26
Free entry
Bringing together a new series of seven sculptural works, this exhibition examines the quiet structures of intimacy, souvenirs and a bittersweet feeling of amnesia.
Exploring the tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden, between restraint and revelation, Excessive Refinement reflects @camilleprovost_ ’s ongoing interest in ambiguity, and the layered ways in which memory is constructed. Across the works, surfaces and forms are built through an insistence on refinement: motifs recur, and gestures are repeated until they become a language in their own right; a grammar that feels both abstract and intimate.
This constant return to the same shapes, domestic materials, and to the repeated movements through which each work emerges, becomes a way of holding onto what might otherwise dissolve: an embodied trigger for remembering. In 𝘌𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, these repeated gestures produce pattern and continuity, forming a quiet structure through which identity can unfold.
This debut marks Provost as an emerging voice with a distinctive sculptural vocabulary, rigorous, tactile and insistent.
