JEREMY TOUSSAINT-BAPTISTE: SET IT OFF
October 29, 2021 – June 19, 2022
Set It Off consists of two variations of a monumental, immersive, sonic sculpture installed across two sites: the ICA at VCU and 1708 Gallery. Each structure uniquely incorporates the circulation of water from the James River, reminding us to consider our bodies as mediums for environmental pollutants. Using sonic frequencies that register just below human audibility, the installations provide a series of site-specific experiences for sound to be deeply felt.

DINEO SESHEE BOPAPE: ILE AYE, MOYA, LÀ, NDOKH…HARMONIC CONVERSIONS…MM
September 24, 2021 – December 19, 2021
Ile aye, moya, là, ndokh…harmonic conversions…mm calls to the elements: earth, wind, fire, and water…summoned in various languages from West and Southern Africa, and features new works spanning video, sculpture, installation, and animation.
Images, objects, and sounds made from soil and water resonate throughout this gallery. They point to cities, ports, and waterways that played important roles in the enslavement of people. By transforming soil samples from Virginia, Louisiana, Senegal, Ghana, and South Africa into material for sculpture and video, Bopape highlights the connectedness of the disparate places—historically and materially. She forges harmonic conversations with ancestral pasts, presences, and futures.

Through photo collage, sculpture, video, and large-scale installation, Ahmed wrestles with the cultural forces that prevail in the working-class neighborhood of Ard El Lewa in Giza, within his family, and even his own body.
