Nine nights; Strange fruit brings together a new body of paintings by London-based artist Shaqúelle Whyte that trace the emotional and temporal reverberations of familial grief. Rather than unfolding as a linear account, the exhibition forms a constellation of moments that draw upon the Jamaican funerary tradition of Nine Nights and the historic resonance of the protest song 'Strange Fruit'. Across these works, figures fracture, double and ripple, compressing multiple temporalities within a single visual field.

In an exhilarating move set to captivate the global music scene, Afro-Fusion sensation AQT is poised to make waves with the release of his debut album, 'Olanrewaju', under the Amanar Group/GF Universal label. Far from ordinary, this genre-defying project is not just an album but a vibrant sonic tapestry, seamlessly weaving together elements of Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and Arabic melodies. It encapsulates the essence of a life woven through diverse cultural and geographical landscapes.
