Na Chainkua Reindorf - Nyeti - Showing Teeth, 2023 Acrylic gouache, fabric and pouring medium on clayboard 121.92 x 182.9 cm. Courtesy of ADA contemporary art gallery and The 1897.

In line with International Women’s Month, The 1897 and ADA contemporary art gallery are pleased to present “The Alchemy of Colour and Matter”, a group exhibition of six exceptional contemporary female artists whose works delve into the profound interplay of materiality and colour as expressions of identity, heritage, and sanctuary. The exhibition is a continuation of The 1897’s nomadic exhibition format, whilst ADA contemporary extends its record of meaningful global collaborations. Curated by Sosa Omorogbe, Founder of The 1897.

“The Alchemy of Colour and Matter examines how each artist manipulates materiality and colour to imbue their work with meaning, creating pieces that transcend their raw components and emerge as powerful symbols of genealogy, self-expression, and sanctuary. I look at these compositions and I know exactly who these women are.” – Sosa Omorogbe, Curator
