‘re-introducing oshun’ exhbibition in london will explore black women’s bodies, gender and sexual expression through the lens of the orisha, oshun

Dopeness happening soon in London, UK! ‘Re-Introducing Oshun’ is “an interdisciplinary exhibition in style of Art Nude, discussing black women’s bodies, gender and sexual expression through the lens of the Orisha, Oshun.” Creative director Janine Francois allowed us to premiere some of the images right here on AFROPUNK. She tells us that this series, called ‘Exotic Fruits’, “aims to be a critique of European colonial and anthropological gaze of African women by giving back their agency”.
“Featuring an all female collective working within the mediums of movement, visual arts and poetry, ‘Re-Introducing Oshun’ demystifies the omnipresent gaze placed on black women’s bodies by, creating images of black women that look, talk, feel and love like us and in doing so presenting our own truths.”
