Project Ability Gallery

Nnena Kalu is an artist working with the disability arts organisation Action Space in London. To create her work, she binds and layers materials to create large, colourful structures that wrap themselves around the gallery, reacting to the size, shape and environment of each new setting.

An array of different colours and textures adorned her wrapped installations and they grew from a small curious object in the space, into a large, immersive presence which transformed the gallery into a vessel for these organic forms to inhabit. Kalu was in residence with Project Ability during the first week of the festival; watching her work was a mesmerising experience.
