  • Summary

  • What happens to a Black body when it stops being weighed down by forces of oppression and is freed from gravity? Can the result be Black rhapsody? 

    To find out, listen to Kambui Olujimi in conversation with SB15 curator Hoor Al Qasimi

    At Sharjah, Olujimi installed an immersive, site-specific work called In The Dark, We Lose Our Edges (2023) comprising sculpture, sound and painting. The installation references colonial printing processes, Congolese masks and mazes with many routes, to propose the ways in which bodies might defy gravity and take flight.

    Olujimi’s works are on view at The Flying Saucer till 11 June 2023.
