Conflicts of Freedom: Show curated by Blackpuffin and Co-produced by Blackpuffin and Povos

Conflicts of Freedom

Creating is deeply personal, often requiring intense emotional labor that results in works of art and beauty. This exhibition acknowledges the profound vulnerability present in these creations and highlights the internal and external forces—political, theoretical, and commercial—that shape both the artist and their practice.

In Conflicts of Freedom, the raw emotional depth of the artworks stands in contrast to the sense of freedom they embody. By placing these pieces side by side, the show invites viewers to consider how artists navigate and negotiate the complexities of the art world while maintaining their creative vision.

Curated by Blackpuffin and co-produced by Blackpuffin and Povos, the exhibition features works by:

• Jamaal Peterman

• Lola Ayisha Ogbara

• Modou Dieng Yacine
