We're excited to share our collaboration with Followart, a platform dedicated to supporting and connecting artists and curators worldwide

Together with Followart, we're taking a step toward something that truly matters: creating direct, meaningful support for artists. Throughout the exhibition, visitors can simply scan the QR code on each participant's label and contribute any amount they wish directly to the artist.

Even the smallest contribution can make a real difference. For an artist, it's more than just financial support; it's recognition, encouragement and a reminder that their work resonates. It's a simple gesture that says: I see you, I value what you create, and I want you to keep going.
Art thrives on connection, and this is a chance to be part of that connection in a tangible way.

Support an artist. Make an impact.

Meet the Artists

Chie Marquart-Tabel . Satta Briama .art and Tayo .deade

Chie Marquart-Tabel is a Black visual artist based between Berlin and London. Her work explores the connection between loved ones, communities, and ancestry, while questioning belonging and care in a world shaped by colonialism and capitalism.
As part of "(Supposedly like) Oil and Water", Marquart-Tabel presents "Homes and Goodbyes", a multidisciplinary installation that reimagines farewell not as loss, but as a conscious, intentional act. Rooted in her decision to undergo a mastectomy, the work approaches letting go as a physical and ritual process. Through painting, drawing, embroidery, and patchwork, she creates objects that embody what has been lost, releasing it.

Satta Briama is a Sierra Leonean-born, London-raised multidisciplinary q***r artist now based in Berlin. Working across painting, poetry, and performance, her practice explores emotional and embodied human experience. Grounded in her lived reality as a Black q***r woman, her work resists simplified narratives of identity. She holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London.
In the exhibition, Briama presents "Where it breaks, it holds", a work that traces how memory settles into the body and how we continue to live within what has shaped us.

Tayo was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and moved to Vienna at the age of seven. Their work combines painting with upcycled materials, addressing themes of Afro-diasporic history, identity, belonging, and cultural perception.
For "(Supposedly like) Oil and Water", Tayo presents "Orisha Berlin". In Yoruba tradition, Orishas are divine beings not confined to fixed gender roles. In Tayo's interpretation, Orisha emerges as a fluid, genderless presence that exists beyond binary categories.

Meet the Artists!

Lahya , Nyambura wa Flo , and Raviva Nsiama .ziama Read their bios below.

Lahya is a Namibian Black q***r, disabled, neurodiverse, fat Femme artist whose work moves across poetry, performance, photography, and song. Creating is both survival and healing, a way to speak, to process, and to stay present in a world that often pushes them to the margins.
As part of "(Supposedly like) Oil and Water", Lahya will showcase Love in a Lost World, a photographic series that interrupts advertising, gentrification, and polished narratives with raw truth.

Nyambura wa Flo is a Kenyan photographer and social & cultural activist. Fusing photography, film, and activism, her work explores African identity, memory, and cultural continuity within the context of colonial fragmentation. Her practice is guided by the wisdom of African philosophy and ancient knowledge systems to understand our role and contribution to social change.
As part of "(Supposedly like) Oil and Water", Nyambura will showcase Alkebulanx, a photographic series that considers the shared histories of African q***rness and spirituality as important dimensions of African life, violently shaped by colonisation and religion.

Raviva Nsiama is a Berlin-based filmmaker and visual artist working with film, photography, and installation. Born between Congolese and German cultural worlds, her artistic language moves fluently between symbolism, multilingual text, and embodied performance. At the heart of her practice lies poetry. She studied Visual Communication (Moving Image) at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK).
As part of "(Supposedly like) Oil and Water", Nsiama will showcase Burning Lies, a poetic short film about the stories we tell ourselves to survive, the fictions we build to move through a cold world, to protect what feels too fragile, to hold back our own joy, or to keep life at a safe distance.
