Where hair and care meet, creativity and community flourish 💫

In our latest review, Nosy peep Regatu Asefa (@regatuasefa ) reflects on what made Crépu 2025 so powerful and why it continues to be a vital space for Black expression, joy, and care.

“The body exists when it is activated; therefore, our experience in the world is shaped by sensory encounters. ‘My Body Is Wherever It Has Something To Do’ urges us to reconnect with our senses and, through them, form our understanding of “self” within the exhibition.”

“’My Body Is Wherever It Has Something’ To Do invites multi-sensory encounters with art. Sound, touch, smell, taste, and sight become guiding forces in both the experience of the works and their spatial arrangement. The exhibition asks: How does the body meet art? Which senses are awakened in the encounter?”
