About this Event
Mitochondria Gallery is pleased to present, Note to Gracilla, the debut solo exhibition by Rwandan artist, Manzi Leon, curated by Eric Agyare.
In Manzi Leon's journey of artistic exploration, stepping into the lives of his characters is an indispensable part of capturing their true essence. This quest for profound connection led him to uncover a remarkable story nestled in the heart of Takoradi, Ghana-a narrative centered around an African lady by the name of Gracilla, whose experiences offer a powerful testament to resilience and grace.
The artworks presented in this exhibition transcend mere aesthetic appeal; they serve as affirmations and memoirs that ignite meaningful conversations about acceptance and self-worth among Black women globally. Each piece is a tribute to the idea that every woman embodies the spirit of Gracilla-an exceptional woman who radiates love and beauty from within.
" Note to Gracilla ” is on view from September 21st to October 26th, 2024.
