Karimah Ashadu

Karimah Ashadu,Camden Art Centre

Camden Art Centre and Fondazione In Between Art Film present ‘Tendered’, the first institutional solo exhibition in the UK by artist and filmmaker Karimah Ashadu (UK/Nigeria, b. 1985), winner of the Silver Lion for Promising Young Artist at the Venice Biennale 2024.

Curated by Alessandro Rabottini and Leonardo Bigazzi of Fondazione In Between Art Film, the exhibition includes the premiere of MUSCLE – a newly commissioned moving-image installation – as well as a series of new sculptures conceived especially for the show that reference objects and environments within the film. MUSCLE (2025) is an intimate portrait of body builders in the heart of Lagos’ slums striving to attain a hyper-masculine ideal, continuing the artist’s research into issues of socio-economic independence and patriarchy within the context of West African culture and society.
