Ire T’ónlọ Lọ́wọ́ / Blessings, ongoing
Gallery Show, Wonnerth Dejaco, 31 October – 19 December 2024
Presented in a setting reminiscent of a West African studio space, Irè T’ónlọ Lọ́wọ́ (Blessings, ongoing) features parts of Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński's creative process which she embarked on in September 2023, when she arrived in Lagos to begin her research-focused residency at Yinka Shonibare’s Guest Artist Space (G.A.S.) Foundation after being awarded the inaugural Access ART X Prize (Diaspora). Woven from an interplay of movement, stillness, tradition, and innovation, this body of work stands as a testament to Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński’s profound encounter with what Okwui Enwezor refers to as “the routes and roots” of life, embracing both the blessings of the past and the promise of new beginnings.
