Exhibition | Nengi Omuku, 'We Were Like Those Who Dreamed' at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London, United Kingdom

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London presents 'We Were Like Those Who Dreamed,' the second solo exhibition by Nigerian artist Nengi Omuku. The show features new paintings that explore the politics of green spaces in urban centers, particularly Lagos, where rapid urbanization has created a 'concrete jungle.' Omuku transposes figures from contemporary and archival images of Lagos into lush, Impressionistic landscapes painted with pointillist brushstrokes and a Fauvist palette, using the garden as a radical symbol of equality and resistance. She paints on sanyan, a hand-spun Yoruba cloth, working with local artisans in Ilorin to revive the tradition. Works like 'Dream Logic' and 'One Particular Man' address socio-economic tensions, while 'A quiet nation' captures the dichotomy between urban Brutalist architecture and natural foliage.

Maracas in hand, my toddler wanders freely through a gallery of priceless ceramics

A parent describes bringing their toddler to a "family-friendly drop-in" session at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, where children are allowed to roam freely among priceless ceramics and other artworks. The session is child-led and loosely structured, with activities like coloring, building blocks, and musical instruments placed directly in the galleries rather than in a separate cordoned-off area.

Sara Shamma brings Syria’s cultural renewal to Venice Biennale

Sara Shamma, the first female artist to lead Syria's national pavilion at the Venice Biennale, presents her immersive installation *The Tower Tomb of Palmyra* at Iuav University of Venice's Cotonificio campus. The full-scale, nine-sided chamber features paintings, light, sound, and scent inspired by Palmyra's ancient funerary towers, which Shamma first encountered as a student at the National Museum of Damascus. The project, originally planned for Cambridge before the pandemic, gained new significance after the fall of the Assad government in December 2024, as Shamma returned to Damascus and was approached by Syria's Ministry of Culture to represent the country's cultural renewal on the world stage.
