Intimacy of Memory

Artist: Ayogu Kingsley

Presented at: AKAA Paris, 2024 & 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, Marrakech, 2025

Curatorial concept

A deeply introspective project inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Notes on Grief. Kingsley created a visual memoir, with each painting corresponding to a chapter from the text. Through expressive figuration and layered emotion, the series offered an intimate portrait of mourning as both personal ritual and universal experience.
