ART INTERVIEW | 2026

Opening tomorrow @thelightboxwoking is THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO THE SEA from Ingram Prize winning artist @khadijacecileart. We asked Khadija to take us through the inspiration behind this new, solo exhibition:

As I've been making this work, I realized that actually, in a way, it's a continuation of my degree show at the Slade. I started thinking about this dynamic between labour and leisure when I was in Senegal. A lot of the local surfers come from a fishing families and having the same heritage, I was curious if that’s what subconsciously brought to surfing, but I wondered whether there comes a shift in how you relate to the sea when it’s been your livelihood compared to for me I usually approach it as a place to relax and play.

I wanted to unpack these ideas a bit more because I didn't have time at the Slade to pull at that thread. I took having this show as have an opportunity to speak to people and see how those conversations can influence my work.

Full interview on our website.

My solo show ‘there are people who belong to the sea’ opens next week at @thelightboxwoking 🌊💙

So excited (and nervous!) to share this new body of work. Many of the paintings were inspired by interviews over WhatsApp voice memos with family, friends and strangers all connected by their love of the sea, some through leisure, some through their livelihoods 🎣🏄‍♀️🏊

We will be having an opening from 2-4pm next Saturday 10 October and would love to see familiar faces there ✨

Thank you to my fav photographer @obtikare for capturing the last days in the studio in the run up to the show 💖

Thank you to the @ingramcollectionuk for this amazing opportunity!
