London – Whistler At The Tate
This is the most insightful exhibition into an artist that is both well-known and one that flies somewhat under the radar. I’ve always thought James Abbot McNeill Whistler ought to be more widely known that he currently is. Whenever I visit Paris, I always make a stop at the Musee D’Orsay to see one painting…

LONDON QUICK & DIRTY | THE HIP HOP EXHIBITION
Spend an hour or two at the Saatchi gallery on the Kings Road at the Hip Hop exhibition titled Hip-Hop – Living A Dream, which I think is a play on It was all dream. It is a collection of photographs by Jamal Shabazz, Joseph Rodriguez and Gregory Bojorquez and the stories about how those…

YINKA SHONIBARE – SUSPENDED STATES
Suspended States addresses the suspension of boundaries, whether psychological, physical, or geographical — all boundaries of nationhood are in a state of suspense. This is an exhibition in which Western iconography is reimagined and interrogated, at a moment in history when nationalism, protectionism and hostility towards foreigners is on the rise.” – Yinka Shonibare CBE…

LONDON – ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON
I like how unpretentious this exhibition is; it is not in the big fancy museums, rather it is in an unassuming location in South Kensington (apt) and the space in contorted into different rooms through arches which is possibly on purpose so you can do that thing where you see pictures in angles, and on…

PARIS- QUICK & DIRTY
If like me, you are fortunate enough to live in the UK, you can visit most countries in Europe in a day or a weekend, itinerary depending, and have a good time of it. Paris you can visit for a good few hours, quick and dirty: a coffee on arrival, an exhibition, lunch, a cocktail…

LONDON- AFRICA FASHION @ V&A
Three words that do not jive with my soul; Africa, British, Museum and so when I heard that there was to be an upcoming African fashion exhibition at the V&A, I rolled my eyes because it was surely to be more of the same; a show of tokenism and white washing that would seek to…

LONDON | TIFFANY, VISION AND VIRTUOSITY
When I was about twenty-one, those Tiffany tag bracelets were all the rage, so I saved all my money earned from working Saturdays in Russell & Bromley to buy myself one; I think I still have it actually. Back then it was a sign of… youth and frivolity, and proper high fashion. All the girls…

JAMES BARNOR | ACCRA / LONDON: A RETROSPECTIVE
There are moments in life you want to look back on and hold on to because you will never relive them, but they will always stay with you. The day I saw this retrospective is one of such. It was the day I met not one, but two legends of photography. Not only did I…
