ORI NIGHTS
Advertisement
In Yoruba cosmology, Ori is the inner head: the seat of consciousness, and the destiny a person chooses before arriving in the world. _Ori Nights_ gathers work from the world of LaoluNYC around that idea. Laolu Senbanjo’s sacred line work moves across canvas, wall, object and moving image, treating each surface as a threshold between the visible and the unseen.
Over three evenings, the exhibition is accompanied by DJ sets, food and libations. Visitors are invited to enter curiously, discover intentionally, and stay as long as the work asks.
**I. Lemonade Remix**
Wednesday, November 11 | 6–10 PM
A visualizer marks ten years since _Lemonade_. The work honors the visual language Laolu brought to that world and the
cultural custodians who shaped it, tracing a line from the album’s imagery back to its source.
**II. The Veil**
Thursday, November 12 | 6–10 PM
“The Veil” is the threshold between the destiny chosen and the life lived. This featured visualizer introduces the concept and
philosophy of Ori, the principle at the center of Laolu’s practice, and offers a way of reading the exhibition’s work.
**III. Closing Night**
Friday, November 13 | 9 PM–2 AM
The exhibition closes as a celebration of diasporic excellence in art and culture. The work remains on view. The room belongs
to the music and culture.
