Jemila Isa's First Solo Show at Maureen Paley's Studio M
Maureen Paley presents Dreams Lost Upon Waking, the debut solo exhibition of Jemila Isa at the gallery's Studio M space. The show features works in painting and sculpture that explore spirituality, faith, womanhood, and the complexity of self-identity amid inherited narratives. A key piece, The Dream, incorporates text from a vivid dream Isa had in 2015, which she wrote down upon waking. The dream narrative describes standing on a tall yellow hill beside a one-legged swan, then seeing a white chapel on an identical hill with a handsome man dressed in pink linen. The exhibition runs at Studio M, with no specific end date provided.
