Exhibition Overview
Ifa Lokubuka is a visual art exhibition focusing on the black female body as a space of memory
and transformation. It combines drawing, painting, and sculpture to explore the impact of white
supremacy and patriarchy on personal and communal experiences, examining how these
influences are internalized and transmitted through generations. Through various materials, the
exhibition explores themes of erasure and emergence. It emphasizes process, vulnerability, and
the ongoing nature of creation, presenting unlearning as a resistance and viewing artmaking as a
deliberate act of reclaiming agency over the black female body.
