Peju Alatise We Came With The Last Rain Rele Gallery, London
Marking the inauguration of the gallery’s new London space at 5 - 7 Dover Street, Alatise debuts five series of sculptures and installations, central to her continuous work and societal reflection on issues concerning children. Alatise’s multimedia body of work is whimsical, offering a realm of fantasy and escapism woven together with intricate narratives and elements of magical realism.The exhibition serves as a compelling exploration of contemporary societal issues, cultural heritage, and personal narratives. An advocate for girls' rights, Alatise pioneered the Child Not Bride campaign against child marriage, a cause she continues to champion since relocating her studio to the UK in 2021. We Came With The Last Rain explores themes of hope for a brighter future, establishing a platform that allows children to experience their innocence. Presented in the artist’s signature style, the works in the exhibition form part of Alatise’s highly recognisable and consistent practice encompassing storytelling, sculpture, painting, and architecture yet remains deeply anchored in her cultural heritage.
By revisiting Yoruba cosmology and folklore within her artworks, Alatise relays the heritage and history of Nigeria as a means of considering its present and its future. We Came With The Last Rain explores the nuanced storytelling inherent in Yoruba folklore, with the presence of rain as the common thread. We Fell with the Rain (Part 1
