Bunmi Agusto | The Cave

16.05.-06.07.2025

In her solo exhibition Bunmi Agusto explores the tension between the prehistoric and the contemporary, using sleek modern materials to evoke ancient cave imagery. By intertwining primordial narratives with futuristic aesthetics, Agusto invites viewers into a space where the boundaries of time blur, and the eternal cycle of existence is reimagined through both ancient and modern lenses.
