We’re really looking forward to welcoming you all, chatting through the exhibition with artist @chidi.co and bringing together our incredible panellists @rubywight (Nothing), @benghayes (@unknown.works) and Sami Hayes (@shai.space) for a conversation exploring where ideas begin, the role of creativity and how our relationships with the past can shape the ways we imagine the future.

Looking forward to seeing you all at art’otel from 6pm!

With thanks to @itsonly__thebeginning and @doylewham for the support.

Historically, the Ogene was the primary tool of the village town crier. Because its distinct tones can mimic the tonal qualities of the Igbo language, it was used to broadcast news, summon the community, or act as an early-warning security alarm.

These sculptures draw homage on the old and the new. Ogene MIDI is a modern, interactive digital art installation bridging the past and present.

This Installation will be presented during Frieze Art Week, "Notice of reclamation" features Award-winning work from the Investec Cape Town Art Fair (Tomorrows/Today Prize, 2026), pieces exhibited at the Venice Biennale, and material from the ABC documentary Stuff the British Stole: The Rosetta Code.

"The most significant proof of sacred geometry is found in the floor plans. Builders consistently used the 1:√2 ratio (approximately 1:1.4), which creates a "stable equilibrium" often associated with sacred geometry and the Golden Section."
