Shenece Oretha
Ah So It Go, Ah No So It Go, Go So!
13.9.–8.12.2024

Ah So It Go, Ah No So It Go, Go So! by the multidisciplinary artist Shenece Oretha reflects on belonging and land. In the sound installation, growing and grounding echo through poetry, oral traditions and embodied knowing.

Ah So It Go explores the language of horticulture – the art and science of growing a garden – in relation to Black diaspora, migration and culture. The conversation is animated with the rattling of steel barrels and seeds. The title Ah So It Go, Ah No So It Go, Go So! references patois terms, the use of which, in this instance, speak to the formative moments, gestures and familiar phrases that shape us and impart collective and ancestral wisdom.  

Shenece Oretha is a multi-inter-un-disciplinary artist based in London. Oretha creates collective and mobilising works activating sound in sculpture, performance, installation, workshops, and prints. Oretha’s works have been exhibited, for example, by Cubitt Gallery in London, (2022), Brent Biennial (2022), and Les Urbaines festival in Switzerland (2019).
