About this Event
Home is not always a fixed place - it is a current, shifting and flowing like a river that carries us between past and present, near and far. Tracing the River Back is an exploration of the journeys we take to rediscover where we come from and the evolving meaning of belonging.
Like water carving its way through time and terrain, we seek the origins that shape us, following threads of memory, migration, and identity. Some paths lead us home; others unravel new truths about who we are. Along the way, we collect fragments—stories whispered in the wind, landscapes imprinted in our bones, and the unspoken knowledge carried in our very being.
This exhibition invites us to trace the rivers that run through our histories, to listen to the land that remembers us, and to find, perhaps, another way home.
Tracing the River Back features new works from Izere Antoine, Matthew Eguavoen, Dusabe King Christian, Ejiro Fenegal, Odeyemi Oluwaseun, Manzi Leon, Benjamin Niyomugabo, Alex Peter Idoko, and Chika Idu.
