Barthélémy Toguo — Road to Exile
Barthélémy Toguo — Road to Exile I keep coming back to Barthélémy Toguo’s work because it feels alive, even when it’s still. His installations, carved wooden figures, and use of everyday objects like passports or fabric seem to carry the weight of memory and travel. They’re witnesses to migration, displacement, and human endurance. It makes […]
Osman Yousefzada — More Immigrants Please
Osman Yousefzada — More Immigrants Please Osman Yousefzada’s work moves like it’s alive, everything woven together with migration, memory, and identity. He grew up navigating multiple cultures, and that shows in the materials he chooses: fabrics, patterns, threads that carry both personal and political histories. I love how he transforms the domestic, the everyday, into […]
Lydia Ourahmane — The Third Choir
Lydia Ourahmane — The Third Choir Lydia Courahmane’s work always leaves me thinking about movement, stillness, and the invisible infrastructures that shape our lives.

Mónica de Miranda — Beauty, Tomorrow Is Another Day

She photographs, films, and reconstructs sites that are abandoned but with history like hotels, colonial buildings, ruins that carry layers of memory. Her practice makes me think about fragility and impermanence, about how […]
Sejiro Avoseh — FACES OF NOWHERE
Sejiro Avoseh — FACES OF NOWHERE Sejiro Avoseh’s work feels alive, layered, and sometimes chaotic. He paints and collages fragmented bodies, faces, and patterns, exploring identity, migration, and multiplicity. His pieces feel intimate and public at the same time, asking questions about who we are and where we belong. Does imperfection matter? Maybe it’s exactly […]
