Stevenson art gallery presents the latest solo exhibition by Rwandan artist Serge Alain Nitegeka.

Lost and Found is themed around the loss of identity caused by the forced migrations of people across the many borders of Central Africa. The artist draws inspiration from his own experiences and those of refugees and asylum seekers, creating sculptures made of ambiguous material and weight to express the complex narratives of displacement.

As the artist explains; "the objects were nondescript; the contours revealed nothing save for abstract shapes and whatever else could be imagined. The objects were made from familiar objects: old suitcases, buckets and basins. From daily use, wear and repair, the objects turned out complex and beautiful....Their objects were vessels of memories of their former selves and monuments to whom they had become".
