The Women of Firsts
9 February to 31 November 2023 – Roseli Cafe, Frankfurt
– Solo Exhibition –
My aim with this exhibition was simple but important, to recognise and celebrate six remarkable women who are pioneers in different fields. Women who I feel are not well known because most people do not consider their communities as important as others. So, through each colourful piece, I want you to learn about these women and the stories of their people. But more importantly, I want you to ask yourself why you haven’t heard of them before.

I revisited the style of my Leso Series by creating a 3D effect that symbolises the act of bringing each of these women and their brilliant achievements to the fore.

A twist on my Tuna Kiwango? Series, through these works, I seek to show how the media should represent these six women and similar women from around the world. I designed the newspaper laid over the portraits to contain six articles that highlight, critique and educate about certain aspects of each woman, their field and their countries, that, unfortunately, most of the world has deliberately chosen to ignore or misinform!
