Tunji Adeniyi-Jones curates exhibition at HOME

HOME presents ‘Roots in the Sky’, a group exhibition curated by Tunji Adeniyi-Jones. The exhibition, which marks Adeniyi-Jones’s first institutional curatorial project, brings together the work of ten contemporary artists whose practices span the United States, Europe and West Africa.

Through painting, sculpture and drawing, the presentation explores the cultural pluralism and layered identities that define the Black diaspora. Informed by both personal memory and collective experience, the exhibiting artists engage with nuanced questions of belonging and identity.

‘Our artistic roots are rarely as individual as wider culture might lead us to believe. Each of our stories shares points of departure or arrival, and revolves around a constant interpretation of the past, present and speculative future.’ – Tunji Adeniyi-Jones

Featured artists: Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Alvaro Barrington, Jade de Montserrat, Ivy Kalungi, Joy Labinjo, Sahara Longe, Nengi Omuku, Elena Njoabuzia Onwochei-Garcia, Tschabalala Self and Shaqúelle Whyte.
