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. \n\n					\n				\n					\n					Ain Bailey Biography\n					\n						Ain Bailey is a composer\, artist and DJ. She facilitates workshops considering the role of sound in the formation of identity\, and the exploration of memory and sound.  Past exhibitions include ‘The Range’ at Eastside Projects\, Birmingham; ‘RE:Respite’ at Transmission Gallery\, Glasgow\, Scotland\, and a solo show at Cubitt Gallery\, London: ‘And We’ll Always Be A Disco In The Glow Of Love’ (2019).
