Chronicles of Respite was created between Olumide's Birmingham Studio and STEAMhouse Birmingham Production Space facilities 'Metal-work and Print' workshops, initiated by her exploration of STEAMhouse's sponsored Studio Maker Program in February 2024. 

 

Chronicles of Respite was commissioned by Multistory (a Black Country-based Community Arts Organisation) in curatorial partnership with The New Art Gallery Walsall for the group exhibition project Communion alongside Artists Jamal Lloyd Davis and Leah Hickey.

 

Communion was initiated by Multistory's Assembly (annual exhibition program) and artist development programme Blast Creative Network (BCN), which supports emerging artists based in the Black Country region of England. 

 

Communion is currently being displayed at The New Art Gallery Walsall between August 8th and November 17th 2024, with an Artist talk on November 9th 2024.
