Dineo Seshee Bopape: Ile aye, moya, là, ndokh…harmonic conversations…mm


  • The ICA 601 West Broad Street Richmond, VA, 23220 United States (map)

Dineo Seshee Bopape's solo exhibition "Ile aye, moya, là, ndokh…harmonic conversions…mm" calls to the elements—earth, wind, fire, and water—summoned in various languages from West and Southern Africa. Images, objects, and sounds made from soil and water resonate throughout this gallery.

They point to cities, ports, and waterways that played important roles in the enslavement of people. By transforming soil samples from Virginia, Louisiana, Senegal, Ghana, and South Africa into material for sculpture and video, Bopape highlights the connectedness of the disparate places—historically and materially. She forges harmonic conversations with ancestral pasts, presences, and futures.
