meditations on be(IN) thr(u) is a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist ọmọlolú Refilwe Bàbátúndé (shx/they). Refilwe Bàbátúndé is a multimedia artist whose work is rooted in the healing, self-emancipatory properties of Black sound. As SPACES’ Spring artist-in-residence, they have created an immersive installation that forms a constellation, mapping their interdisciplinary artistic practice across the Oracle Gallery. Combining sonic/video collages, their own familial archive, a monument to Zora Neale Hurston, and newly created printed matter, Refilwe Bàbátúndé's artworks flow together in an exploration of soothing sites of attunement.
