BloodLetter
PSM
Berlin, Germany
September 6 - November 9 2024
The exhibition BloodLetter by Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju at PSM consists of 9 new paintings in oil on leather, as well as 4 works on canvas and Birch tree bark, and an accompanying collection of texts. In this new body of work, she references and alters source photographs pulled from personal and family archives, as well as found images, to process residual feelings and questions around ancestral belonging, homecomings and homegoings, memory, grief, and the beauty amidst it all. A text by José B. Segebre further enriches the exhibition. Full Exhibition Text
On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, on Saturday September 14th at 7pm, Monilola held a reading of the texts conceived around the exhibition’s themes.
