Where Gravity Loses Force
Tafeta, London, UK
5 MARCH - 18 APRIL
‘Where Gravity Loses Force’ is an exhibition featuring a collection of objects and photographs that focuses on the intertwined nature of discipline and freedom, explored through the practice of ballet.
Seriki explores where truth and imagination intersect. Where Gravity Loses Force moves beyond the idea of the stage as solely a site of performance, it instead positions practice itself as the stage. Within this framework, practice is located where alchemical processes unfold, with performance operating as the final stage of transformation.
AISHA SERIKI, MOTUNRAYO AKINOLA
KÓ, Lagos, Nigeria
7 FEBRUARY - 21 MARCH 2026
Of Presence and Absence", an exhibition featuring new work by British-Nigerian artists Motunrayo Akinola and Aisha Seriki. Akinola and Seriki’s distinct practices both emerge from performative methodologies that question the politics of access, visibility, and belonging. Working largely within monochromatic palettes, both artists consider how history and ritual intersect, drawing on their experiences between Nigeria and the United Kingdom to reimagine concepts of representation and spirituality.
Orí Inú
Doyle Wham, London, UK
23 MAY - 27TH JULY 2024
Doyle Wham is delighted to present Nigerian artist Aisha Seriki's first global solo exhibition, Orí Inú: a visual inquiry into spirituality and the history of photography which simultaneously depicts the artist’s attempts to mend the break between her mind and spirit.
In this exhibition, Seriki’s entire Orí Inú photographic series is shown for the first time, alongside four unique comb sculptures (Ìyarun) each containing an embedded photogravure print.
Further involving the audience and welcoming us into her holistic world, Seriki also presents a hand-developed stereograph within an antique stereoscope (a device developed in the early 1800s that enables two photographs side by side to converge into a unified, three-dimensional image).
