All roads lead to The Ellipsis…Here’s a roadmap to help you navigate the coming weeks. To move through this exhibition is to encounter these worlds not as fixed destinations, but as points along a journey. One work leads to another. A material echoes elsewhere. A memory reappears in a different form. Meaning accumulates through proximity. This constellation of encounters call us to wander and linger rather than breeze through in a straight line.Resist premature conclusions.Recognize that home may not always be a place to which one returns, but a horizon toward which one continues to travel.In that journey, in the movement between here and home, entire worlds emerge.Save the datesLink in bio to RSVP for opening night by @obodo_nigeria

There is the life we inherit and the life we make. The stories we are told and those we discover for ourselves. The distance between who we are and who we have been asked to be. Between memory and record. Between the body and the language available to describe it.What exists between here and home?Join us on July 11th by 4pm to discover it for yourself!Our new world will be open to you from July 11th to July 25th 2026. Come and witness the works of our talented cluster from the Obodo Artist Fund 2025! @timilehinoludare_ @ac.xeun @morolaiswicked @morleyxoxo @odaro_ @ejetheartist @preshyharry1 @the_kingtesh @daniellaalmona @bryan_ibeh @somunachino@bytemiloluwajohnson by @obodo_nigeria

EXTENDED DEADLINE - August 3rdWhat is the question driving your current work?From Question to Form exists for artists who take that question seriously, who let it shape their research, their method, and ultimately their form. We are still accepting applications for one filmmaker and one interdisciplinary artist. We’re supporting artists who are still investigating, still asking questions, and letting that process shape what the work eventually becomes. This fund is looking for a meaningful relationship between question, method, and form. If you know an artist whose practice begins with inquiry, share this with them. They might be exactly who we are looking for.Applications close August 3rd Link in bio to apply! by @obodo_nigeria

What an incredible journey!Over the last ten days, we have opened our hearts, minds and home to you. Transforming our space into The Ellipsis has reshaped us and our community in more ways than we could have imagined. We have existed in this liminal space of becoming together. Our artists have escorted us through their worlds. The journey is coming to an end. Join us this Saturday for the closing night of The Ellipsis! We will be hosting our last screening + artist talk moderated by our curator, Cosmas Ihenacho-Herbert (@proeliator.illustris) Featured Artists:@ac.xeun @bryan_ibeh & @somunachino Saturday, July 25Starts by 4pmPhotos by @riskhaxen by @obodo_nigeria
