Exhibition at Gallery Sapere Aude, Copenhagen, August 16, 2025Nanna Prip is a Danish-Guinean artist who recently sold out her Hybrid Heart exhibition at Odama Contemporary Art Gallery in Lagos in October 2024. Since then, she has collaborated with designer KNSWIMS on a bikini collection inspired by three of her paintings, now sold worldwide. Represented by the Nigerian Agency BILARTEAL, Nanna has traveled for longer periods at a time to nine countries in the last 2.5 years, creating and evolving through her art and music, exploring identity and belonging.
This new exhibition at Gallery Sapere Aude in Copenhagen explores the paradox of becoming and being - a duality reflecting Nanna’s personal journey as half Danish, half Guinean, growing up between two worlds and facing extreme challenges including racism.
The paintings feature layered, fluid forms symbolizing the ongoing process of transformation and growth (becoming), alongside an inner core of stillness and wholeness (being). This artistic meditation reveals how change and essence coexist - a narrative about identity, belonging, and self-recognition.
Nanna’s work invites the viewer into a universal journey we all share: a dance between motion and stillness, change and calm. Here, art is not just representation but an experience of life’s paradox - that we are always moving forward, yet already whole.
Snacks and drinks will be served. The event is free and open to all, but please RSVP via this event.
