In Tales for a Stranger, curator Azu Nwagbogu explores the evolving global paradigm felt by most who have emerged from the chaos and grief of the last few years, lost by the pandemic. It channels and explores the freedom, vulnerability, and contemporary art’s unifying and restorative powers in light of the various global upheavals of recent years. It examines the results of this unrest—the paradoxical familiarity and comfort of sharing with strangers—and compels communal reflection on the tone of recent engagements. The exhibition also highlights the decay of outdated systems and the regeneration and rebirth that immediately follows the end of one cycle.
