Opening January 11th, 6:30 PM at SRISA Gallery
BHMF in collaboration with P420 presents Veglia, a solo exhibition dedicated to artist Victor Fotso Nyie which draws upon multiple series of the artist’s work in ceramics to reflect upon notions of rest, sleeplessness and dreaming.
Framed by the theme of the eleventh edition of Black History Month Florence, Common Time, the works engage the histories and material culture of Pan African iconography while engaging personal connections to the artist’s family. For this first solo project in Florence, the space becomes a site where the materials of architectural construction are transcribed on the artist’s unique approach to figurative forms.
