“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and work together, in the same world, at peace.”

The Politics of Shared Spaces
Opening in November 2020, The Politics of Shared Spaces presents a new body of work by Nigerian artist Eniwaye Oluwaseyi (b.1994), highlighting the identities, narratives and power struggles formed within the different frameworks that define a shared space whether it be a shared living space, a shared mindset, or a shared community.
The exhibition showcases the first solo body of work from Oluwaseyi, capturing figures in a vacuum of uncertainty. His paintings are a document of our current climate, relating to the Nigerian #ENDSARS movement and lockdown politics, choosing marginalized communities as his primary lens.
