Valerie Asiimwe Amani: Here, At The Edge of Light…


Through textile, sound and installation, the black hole emerges as more than an

astronomical anomaly, but is reimagined as a mythological symbol for transformation,

desire, and the emotional architecture that connects us to one another.

Influenced by oral histories that center East African eclipse narratives, where celestial

events are understood as ancestral negotiations, the work engages with cosmologies

that blur the line between fear, wonder, and revelation.

This exhibition reframes the black hole as a transformational symbol: not void, but

re‑opening. At its core is the gravitational moment of confronting oneself at the edge –

a remapping of the self through rupture, wonder, and shared emotional resonance.

Rather than resolving the unknown, the exhibition lingers within it: offering viewers a

sensorial space in which the self might encounter its own multiplicity, suspended within

the gravitational pull of myth, memory, and possibility.
