HONEY & WEALTH: Our Names as Inheritance + Becoming [ GROUP EXHIBIT ]

Step into a sacred exploration of identity at Motorhouse this spring as curator oyindaSOLA brings together eight visionary artists in "HONEY & WEALTH: Our Names as Inheritance + Becoming." Born from the curator's own journey of discovering her name's meaning—"honey mixed with wealth" in Yoruba—this exhibition invites you to witness how names carry our histories, shape our presents, and illuminate our futures.

Witness the rich tapestry of stories woven by as unveil works that map their personal journeys through the landscapes of their names. Through varied mediums and perspectives, each artist offers intimate glimpses into the ancestral whispers, cultural reclamations, and personal revelations that names can hold.

The exhibition opens with a reimagined naming ceremony on March 31st, creating a collective ritual space where personal archaeology becomes communal celebration. Throughout April, the exhibition unfolds as both memorial and manifesto—honoring our inheritances while declaring the power of actively claiming, shaping, and celebrating our full identities.

Join us for this moving testament to the ways we come to know ourselves through the names we carry, the names we choose, and the names that choose us. In a world that often fragments identity, "HONEY & WEALTH" stands as an affirmation of return to self and an invitation to honor the journey of becoming in all its depth and fullness.
