Inkpa Mani: The Land Remembers Us
Gallery is on display from September 25-December 10
This body of work emphasizes the land as an active participant in cultural memory and belonging. The paintings feature energetic gestures and colors that evoke sacred geographies and spiritual resonance. The stone sculptures, carved from found stone, act as carriers of ancestral memory. Together, these works represent land not as a backdrop, but as a keeper of identity and spirit.
