Sophia-Yemisi Adeyemo presents the colonized memory as a fractional space, using a cut-up method to accentuate the gaps. Based on 20th-century photography from West Africa and the Caribbean, Adeyemo’s sparse paintings and sculptures render scenes of subjection into fragments of guerrilla fugitivity.
Against the sterile white walls, Adeyemo presents a salon of insurrection that meets the colonial gaze head-on in Earth & Iron: Archival Visions of Land and Struggle, at BRIC in Brooklyn.
