Exhibition

Onyeka Igwe

PEER
London N16QL

Overview

In autumn 2024, Peer presents a new body of work and first major solo exhibition in a London institution by London-based artist, Onyeka Igwe. Igwe’s work, which comprises video, publishing and installation, is aimed at the question: How do we live together? Working with film and installation, Igwe’s exhibition at Peer takes as its starting point the year of 1947, when London was a hub of radical anti-colonial activity. Comprising her dual timeline film, A Radical Duet (2023) presented in a sculptural installation, Igwe’s exhibition imagines what happened in the 1940s when two women of different generations who are fighting for independence, came together in London to write a revolutionary play.
