About the Exhibition 🖼️
Summer Group Show brings together a selection of artists whose works traverse personal and collective narratives, offering layered perspectives on contemporary African realities and diasporic experiences. Across painting, photography, and mixed media, the exhibition foregrounds practices that are both introspective and outward-looking.
The works speak to histories that linger and futures that are being shaped, holding tensions between rootedness and movement, tradition and experimentation. Together, they form a chorus of perspectives that resist singular definition, instead embracing multiplicity and fluidity.
My take on the exhibit, by Art Gallivant :
There’s something expansive in encountering multiple voices at once, no single narrative to hold onto, but rather a rhythm that emerges between works. It feels like moving through fragments of different worlds, each carrying its own urgency and softness.
What stands out is how these practices sit in conversation without collapsing into sameness. They insist on specificity, of place, of experience, while still reaching outward. There’s a quiet confidence in that, a refusal to be reduced, and an openness to be felt across contexts.
It becomes less about defining “African contemporary art” and more about witnessing how artists shape their own languages within and beyond that framing.
About the Gallery
Nomad Gallery is a Brussels-based contemporary art space run by gallery owner and art advisor Walter Deweerdt. What makes this space particularly unique is his longstanding engagement with contemporary art from African artists and diaspora, having collected, exhibited, represented, and collaborated with artists between 2009 and 2025.
His work includes engagement with artists such as Otobong Nkanga and Sammy Baloji, reflecting a deep and sustained connection to practices across Africa and its diaspora.
The space itself is typically accessible by appointment only, making this visit a rare opportunity to step into a more intimate and often private side of the art world. This exhibition reflects a curation of works that are often only accessible within advisory contexts, offering a chance to encounter pieces beyond the usual public circuit while engaging directly with a gallery owner and art advisor working closely in this field.
