Harmattan Has Come
by Azuka Muoh
In her latest solo, Azuka Muoh signals a call to her peers in a plea for environmental perseverance. “Harmattan has come” is a movement of Gen Z asking “Is it just me?”
As the world continues with progression and industrial evolution – in new trends and new spirited thinking, there is a naivety around the true cost and inevitable loss surrounding this growth. Communities are faced with the stark and painful truth that new development and the cost thereof, extends losses experienced in our environment, even the seasons. There are some things the next generation will never experience, not because of our choices, but as a result of our evolution. There is a natural shift of our climate and seasons, indeed because earth absorbs the impact of the human footprint. Muoh leads a significant unifying culture of the Nigerian child–turned-adult which is on the verge of extinction. “Harmattan has come” is a beckoning to her generation to be more sensitive to our earth – “there is no culture without a home.”
Open to view in person from 24 November 2022 - 20 January 2023 exclusively at the Christopher Moller Gallery.
