Summary

"What does the Black body, freed from the gravity of white supremacy, look like? Kambui Olujimi: North Star is an immersive exhibition that features Kambui Olujimi's inquiry into the liberatory possibilities of weightlessness, a concept he has explored since 2019 as an alternative to the structuring forces of anti-Black racism. Olujimi's projects implicate viewers in reimagining what is possible, often through elements drawn from history and everyday life. North Star brings together a selection of large-scale watercolor and ink paintings, a site-specific mural, a film, and a new audiovisual installation. These works collectively imagine what new relationships we might chart between our bodies, the self, the planet, and the universe once deeply entrenched forces are destabilized and replaced by boundlessness and possibility. Introduction by Kambui Olujimi. Text by Hanif Abdurraqib. Artist interview by Koyo Kouoh. Interview by Yasi Alipour with Amaryllis R. Flowers, Christopher Myers, X'unei Lance Twitchell. Interview by Naomi Beckwith with Nayland Blake, Louis Chude-Sokei"-- Provided by publisher.
