aweys gaun portals to a dream that drenches over and seeps through the stories of Western modernity, specifically the chapters leading up and dedicated to an enlightened Caledonia. Propelled by pleasure, curiosity, and ancestral rhythms, aweys gaun honours the longstanding “hereness” of Black life in Scotland, calling and responding to, swaying with, the Black Atlantic hum.
Massaging the slippery matter of memory, Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie presents a series of ceramic panels, vessels and works on paper along with an audio work made in collaboration with broadcaster, artist, and DJ Ashley Holmes and a newly commissioned text from curator, artist, and writer Żżo Charlery.
Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie is a Glasgow-based artist who engages with clay and image (re)production. Frameworks from Black Feminism, geographies, and studies, and African cosmologies underpin their approach to narrative building and dismantling, listening and questioning, and exercising of liberatory practices. They are currently in residency at Glasgow Sculpture Studios. Their work has been exhibited at the Reid Gallery, Glasgow, London College of Fashion, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, and Chelsea Space, London.
