Through a practice that includes film, sculpture, and collage, Wekua works in the ambiguous half-light of memory, fantasy, and history”, said the venue in their announcement.
The installation will include exhibits that take advantage of spatial arrangement to create a perception of diving "into fiction as reality”.
