The featured artists are: Adelaide Damoah Asia ‘WildMoon’ Clarke Enam Gbewonyo Maggie Sade Coker Black Girls Glow, Sianeh A Kpukuyou. The works on display explore a multitude of materials ranging from hair, tights, and paint through to the body, plants and the earth itself to prompt deep, rich and varied conversations about ecology, humanity, femininity, African spirituality, race, identity and nationhood. Through the exhibition, curator Chantel Akworkor Thompson invites viewers to consider what they feel when they touch, asking what does the act of touching evoke, inspire and how can this initiate healing? She encourages them to activate all of their senses when touching, including sight, smell , hearing and intuition The exhibition will be accompanied by an essay by Amma Amofaah-Ofosu
