‘Things I Saw
At Night’
@ Modern Art
—
‘Synthesising
fragments of
bodies to
reconstruct
narratives and
imagine new
configurations
of subjectivity
denied by colonial
legacies...’
Born:
1986 — Sarpsborg,
Norway.
The exhibition:
Is the Norwegian/
Nigerian artist's
first solo with
Modern Art,
presenting several
new & recent wall-
based collages,
in addition to video
work and sculpture,
bringing together
the multiple facets
of her practice and
elucidating her
ways of thinking
through making.
‘More often than
not, the figures
in Orupabo's
images are Black
women, although
the categorisation
of gender, race,
and family heritage
are not only
questioned; they
become the locus
of her explorations’.
