Spirit Faith Grace Rage presents a selection of photographs, sounds, and printed matter that Marilyn Nance meticulously gathers to open up connections between the United States, the African continent, and African diasporas. From churches and concert halls to the streets, she links New York to cities across the world, amplifying the past century into the one we are living in.

Spirit Faith Grace Rage is Marilyn’s first solo exhibition in Europe.

Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme create multimedia installations that engage the politics and poetics of anti-colonial resistance while tracing struggles against dispossession and oppression in Palestine.

Hajra Waheed is a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, painting, sound, sculpture, video, and installation. Her practice explores the nature of power, the human impact of displacement and incarceration, and the transformative possibilities of liberation struggles.
