I’m Just a Boy revisits the formative years of Black and African masculinity. The show brings together ten contemporary African artists whose works delve into the complexities of growing up male in societies that prioritize toughness over tenderness, performance over presence. Featuring: Opeyemi, Ebuka Michael, Oliver Okolo, Okoye Emeka John, Andrés Montalván, Moses Zibor, Emeka Udemba, Anjel, Ebenezer Akinola, Rémy Samuz
Through painting, photography, and mixed media, each artist offers a deeply personal yet collectively resonant narrative, exploring themes of vulnerability, identity, resistance, and care.
