Between grain, dune, salt, and sky is a visual and sonic study of metaphor and materiality. This exhibition explores dominant and understated narratives of desert geographies, displacement, architecture, archives, sound, skin, and subversive technologies of image-making across landscapes from the Mediterranean, the Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. A recurrent theme throughout the exhibition is a materialist approach to lens-based cultural production—where process is made visible through both the haptic and conceptual presentation of the work. Whether engaging with sand, saltwater, clay, silk, or fibre, the artists practice a material sensibility anchored in African and Black diasporic cultural and political genealogies.
