The Weight of Heirlooms: Visual Narratives of Turbulent Times
Nadia Valeska
4–21 DECEMBER

Assembly in Green, 2025, Oil on Canvas, 60x90 cm

Berlin-based artist Nadia Valeska presents intimate, layered works that interweave memory, resilience, and the enduring traces of displacement. Portraits meet faceless crowds, reflecting women’s often-overlooked roles in moments of upheaval. Through fragile, interlaced narratives, the works invite contemplation of the delicate interplay between personal histories, collective identity, and the complex nature of belonging.

Please join us for a drink to celebrate the opening of The Weight of Heirlooms: Visual Narratives of Turbulent Times on Friday 5 December (6–8PM)
