SUMMARY:Bonington Vitrines #23: Onyeka Igwe – An Elegant Marker of Endless Invention
DESCRIPTION:Presented alongside Onyeka Igwe’s solo exhibition history is a living weapon in yr hand\, discover a selection of materials selected by the artist\, that highlight key women who embraced creative activities to challenge imperialism and imagine new Pan-African realities. \n\n\n\nIn looking into the history of Pan-Africanism from the 1930s up until Howard Macmillan’s famous Winds of Change speech in 1960\, many famed and celebrated men emerge as having spent time in the UK before rising to prominence in Africa\, the Caribbean and South Asia as political leaders. The women are lesser known and celebrated\, but figures like Amy Ashwood Garvey\, Katherine Dunham\, Una Marson\, Sylvia Wynter and Funmilayo Ransome Kuti played their part using music\, poetry\, dance and theatre to challenge imperialism and imagine new Pan-African futures.  \n\n\n\nExhibition launch\n\n\n\nJoin us for a first look round the exhibition on Friday 12 January from 6–8 pm.

Her work is aimed at the question: how do we live together? Not to provide a rigid answer as such\, but to pull apart the nuances of mutuality\, co-existence and multiplicity.  \nOnyeka’s practice figures sensorial\, spatial and counter-hegemonic ways of knowing as central to that task. For her\, the body\, archives and narratives both oral and textual act as a mode of enquiry that makes possible the exposition of overlooked histories. She has had solo/duo shows at MoMA PS1\, New York (2023)\, High Line\, New York (2022)\, Mercer Union\, Toronto (2021)\, Jerwood Arts\, London (2019) and Trinity Square Video\, London (2018). Her films have screened in numerous group shows and film festivals worldwide.  \nCurrently\, she is Practitioner in Residence at the University of the Arts London and she will participate in the group show ‘Nigeria Imaginary’ in the national pavilion of Nigeria at the upcoming 60th Venice Biennial in 2024. She was awarded the New Cinema Award at Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival 2019\, 2020 Arts Foundation Fellowship\, 2021 Foundwork Artist Prize and has been nominated for the 2022 Jarman Award and Max Mara Artist Prize for Women. Onyeka is represented by Arcadia Missa Gallery.
