It allows us to consider what it means to be in exile while at \u2018home\u2019. The objective is to challenge how we see, un\u2014see and engage with the familiar. Those objects within our visible space but that end up relegated to our blindspot. These objects and scenes evolve into a blank space. It explores the beauty within the mundane and how deeper narratives can be manifest through seemingly ordinary and incongruous relationships and familiar associations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Azu Nwagbogu<\/strong> is the Founder and Director of African Artists\u2019 Foundation (AAF), a non- profit organisation based in Lagos, Nigeria.
