Anti-Nymphs — A Constellation of Blackness

Artist Josèfa Ntjam presents A Constellation of Blackness, a hypnotic 33-minute sound-performance that weaves spoken word and instrumental improvisation. Situated within the Anti-Nymphs program, the piece reimagines Greco‑Roman myth through feminist and Afrofuturist lenses, collaging sampled fragments of twentieth-century Black voices. Ntjam invokes African mythology, ancestral rites, religious symbolism and science fiction to explore Blackness, darkness, antimatter and the sense of cosmic kinship, creating a dense, ritualised atmosphere that is both lyrical and confrontational.

Glazed Realities is a group exhibition curated by Vasilis Zografos that examines contemporary ceramic practices as instruments of storytelling, experimentation and transformation.

Through glazing, texture and material manipulation the artists deploy sculpture and object-based installations to probe materiality, luminosity, fragility and the interplay between form and human experience.
