Exhibition Dates: 3 July – 30 August 2025
Location: dot.ateliers | South Labadi, Accra
dot.ateliers is pleased to present some things just don’t wash off, a group exhibition featuring works by Christopher Samuel Idowu, Chukwumereogo Okeke, and Nobel Koty, developed during their residencies at dot.ateliers | South Labadi. Opening on 3 July 2025 at the dot.ateliers | South Labadi exhibition space, the show will run through 30 August 2025.
The exhibition explores material as memory, surface as story, and the body as a vessel for emotion, history, and transformation. Each artist brings a deeply embodied approach to their process—using materials, both primary and experimental, as tools for excavating what lingers. Across their practices, materials carry with them the textures of place, labour, and selfhood. Together, their works invite viewers to consider how materials move—across regions, bodies, and histories—and how, through artistic practice, they are reshaped into new geographies of meaning. These practices form connections between artists and materials, bodies and earth, memory and
surface. We look forward to welcoming you to dot.ateliers | South Labadi for the opening of some things just
don’t wash off.
