WAIT A MINUTE?!!, poses the fundamental question: "When did you reach your place of solitude?". Through a series of performances and a collection of self-portraiture developed over the past two years, the exhibition explores the delicate tension between isolation and solitude, examining how these experiences shape and inform the multifaceted understanding of being a Black woman today.

In an era defined by instant communication and digital immediacy, solitude can be both a refuge and a confrontation—a space for profound processing, unraveling, and rebuilding. This exhibition navigates themes of validation, intimacy, and acceptance, documenting the evolving relationship with the self and how solitude facilitates both self-affirmation and self-interrogation.

Through prints, self-portraits, and immersive installations, WAIT A MINUTE?!! invites viewers to engage with solitude not as absence, but as presence. It asks: How do we sit with ourselves? What do we find in the stillness? By stepping into this layered environment, viewers are encouraged to pause—to witness, to wait, and to embrace the complexities of solitude as an ongoing journey.

There will be live durational performances in the gallery on Saturday 19 April (1-5pm) and Saturday 31 May (1-5pm).
