Black Liquid Art Gallery in Rome is presenting Nirveda Alleck’s Spread Over the Ocean Bed from 10 October to 5 December 2026. Curated by Antonella Pisilli, the exhibition pairs the Mauritian artist’s video Insular Variations II – Arise with seven paintings made between 2017 and 2024. C& and the gallery frame the presentation around submerged histories and identity; the gallery describes it as Alleck’s first Italian solo show.
Léon Radegonde discusses a practice built around hessian, wood, rust and deliberately aged materials in an interview about Restan Lepase at 1-54 London. Presented by DēpART, the project connects his work with writing, research and sound, offering a view of Seychelles beyond tourism imagery and reflecting on the country’s developing contemporary-art institutions.
In Stephan Rheeder’s ART AFRICA interview, Roméo Mivekannin discussed Correspondances at Fondation H in Antananarivo ahead of its planned opening. Working with Malagasy embroiderers and metalworkers, the French-Beninese artist transformed archival imagery into textile paintings and sculptural altars. He described sewing as a form of care and the exhibition as an exchange among Benin, France and Madagascar. The project brought local craft knowledge into dialogue with his continuing exploration of representation, memory and spiritual traditions.
