Double Opening: An Alternative Economics and Jenn Nkiru

13 May 2022
6-8pm

You’re invited to the opening of two IMA exhibitions, the group exhibition An Alternative Economics and Jenn Nkiru: Rebirth Is Necessary.

Curated by Tulleah Pearce, An Alternative Economics brings together Australian and international artists who explore the creation of value: Five Mile RadiusGunybi GanambarrWanda GillespieKatie PatersonMake or BreakKeg de Souza, and Shevaun Wright. Guided by the idea of the circular economy and its compelling counternarrative to the untenable model of eternal growth, their works ask us to reconsider what counts in our society.

Nigerian British artist and filmmaker Jenn Nkiru’s first solo exhibition in Australia Rebirth Is Necessary  explores the magic and dynamism of Blackness in a realm where time and space are altered. Past, present, and future are rethought and reordered to create something soulful and mind-bendingly visceral.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
