Exhibition curated by Jolie Hockings
Celebrate the launch of As I Weave, a new exhibition by artist and teacher Aasha John
Autograph
Rivington Place
London EC2A 3BA, UK
Bringing together woven photographic works, the exhibition explores family histories and connections shaped between Trinidad and London. Working with archival material and recorded conversations, John uses weaving as a way to hold memory, fragmentation and absence in tension, translating oral histories through the act of weaving.
The opening night will also mark the launch of a new short film on John’s residency, directed by filmmaker Ayo Akingbade.
Developed during Autograph’s Visible Practice Residency, As I Weave reflects on how making and listening can preserve and reimagine shared and personal histories across time and distance.
✨ Join us for an informal evening to experience the work, meet the artist and celebrate the opening of the exhibition. As I Weave will be presented in Autograph's studio space, alongside Nhu Xuan Hua's exhibition Of Walking on Fire currently across both gallery spaces. Complimentary refreshments will be available in the studio and you are welcome to arrive and leave at any time.
