Praise House: Adama Delphine Fawundu

Fawundu's practice centers on memory, conjuring, and the radical imaginary, challenging the boundaries of the photographic medium.

The exhibition opens with an image of a physical praise house on St. Helena Island, built from weathered wooden planks. This sacred structure becomes a bridge between Fawundu's Mende heritage and the Gullah-Geechee communities of the Carolina Sea Islands.

Praise House is a cosmological gesture. It envisions the migrations and transformations of African indigenous worldviews as they echo through the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe. Ultimately, Praise House is a love song for our humanity, our environment, and the future we are called to imagine and co-create.
