Gospel of Identity (2022 - ongoing)
The black body exists. Lost underneath the pressure of the forces it continuous to strive, nonetheless. Fuelled by the bond of skin, strengthened, and liberated in the joy of being, we long for connection amongst the community and within ourselves. What was once hidden in a haze of oppression and fear can now be illuminated.
Then to be seen is the ultimate form of resistance.
In his work „Gospel of Identity“, Moses Omeogo explores his Afro-German identity. With the help of portraits, texts and video elements, he aims to draw attention to the similarities and differences within the diaspora, as well as providing insights into an underrepresented life and emotional world.
