Like us, they are alive invites viewers to enter a space where Onajevwe’s work commands attention and presence. Visitors can expect to encounter shifting materialities that open room for Black being, with visual narratives that resist containment and insist on expansion. Each piece carries a spiritual resonance, reaching toward the ancestors who guide the artist’s hand and steady the process of making.

This body of work marks a return to confidence in creating both objects and spaces, offering gestures that build, overlap, and entwine, suggesting that form is never fixed but always in motion. The exhibition encourages viewers to linger, to listen, and to recognize aliveness not as an endpoint but as an unfolding—a continual becoming that stretches across history, spirit, and the immediacy of encounter.

Attendees are invited to engage with the work thoughtfully, to reflect on presence, lineage, and the expansive possibilities of Black being, and to participate in a space alive with energy, care, and continual creation.
