Since November, 7th @sheriff.gallery has the pleasure to invite photographer David Ụzọchukwu and his exhibition « NEW SUNS », in collaboration with @galeriegomis. The exhibition presents a series of photographs by Ụzọchukwu that depict Black figures within haunting natural landscapes, from charred forests to midnight seas and saffron deserts. These surreal works reflect on the historical marginalisation of people of colour in narratives about the natural world, often depicted as wilderness to be conquered by settlers and adventurers. At once intimate and apocalyptic, the works also evoke climate change and its disproportionate impact on the Global South. Through this reimaging of the relationship between Blackness and nature, the artist offers speculative visions of coexistence and renewal. Eshun takes inspiration from Afrofuturist writer Octavia E. Butler’s parable, « There is nothing new under the sun, but there are news suns », to position the show as an invocation to go beyond the everyday in order to embrace new and hopeful possibilities for the future. “New Suns” by Ụzọchukwu November 7th • January 11th ART LAB PRINT @sheriff.projects Opening hours : Tuesday • by appointment Wednesday - Saturday • 11am - 7pm With David Ụzọchukwu @daviduzochukwu Ekow Eshun @ekoweshun Marie Gomis-Trezise mariegtee Galerie Gomis @galeriegomis Sheriff Projects @sheriff.projects | Sheriff Projects
