Join us for GG & POP Institute's three year anniversary exhibition curated by @iambritsade
Liberation, My Love, a group exhibition featuring 17 artists opens June 27, 2026. The exhibition gathers emerging artists working across a breadth of media and geographies, united by a shared inquiry into what it means to move through the world freely,on one’s own terms, in one’s own body, within one’s own community. The work ranges from the intimate to the monumental, the personal to the political, the quiet to the confrontational. Together, it builds an argument: that liberation is not an abstract ideal but a daily, practiced, embodied thing.
The opening on June 27 is free and open to the public. All are welcome.
Featured Artist:
Mayowa Nwadike is a Nigerian mixed media artist based in New York City. Working primarily hi with charcoal and acrylic, he creates emotionally layered work that blends heritage and lived experience to explore themes of identity, gender, roles, spirituality, and the immigrant experience. His paintings have been exhibited internationally at esteemed galleries and institutions, including the Whatcom Museum in Washington, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and the African-American Museum in Dallas. His work has also been featured in numerous publications, including Hyperallergic, Timeout, Observer, and New Visionary Magazine. In 2026, Nwadike was named to Forbes 30 under 30 (Art & Style), a recognition of his distinct voice and influence in contemporary art. @mayowanwadike
