Art exhibition: Jo Aidoo – Faces, with African Twist

7 to 28 October 2024
Tavistock Centre

We’re excited to present a new exhibition at the Tavistock Centre: Faces, with African Twist by artist Jo Aidoo.

Jo was born in Ghana and now lives in London. She has been sewing as a form of expression since around the age of seven. “I have never been to a sewing or an art school. I find relief when I sew. It soothes my anxious mind,” she says.

Colour is the language that speaks to her as an African woman. Jo’s heritage illustrates the vibrancy of African textiles and fabric traditions. Her patchworks juxtapose interesting patterns and colours to depict famous Black artists and activists, along with impressions of her family members and striking self-portraits. The collection is complemented by landscapes inspired by her homeland of Ghana.

This exhibition is part of our Black History Month celebration. It runs until Monday 28 October and is not to be missed!

Please join us for a very friendly and informal exhibition launch on Thursday 10 October from 5 pm. There will be refreshments and a chance to meet the artist. All are welcome!
