Through a multi-sensory video experience, biomorphic sculptures, and photomontages printed on plexiglass and aluminum, this exhibition explores the artist’s deep interest and research into African mythology, biological processes, science fiction, and the ingrained but outdated ideas about origin, identity and race that rule our world.

Futuristic Ancestry: Warping Matter and Space-time(s) is a kaleidoscopic journey into Afro-diasporic history, race, and revolution, invoking Mother Earth and Ntjam’s own life experiences in a hallucinogenic multi-sensory experience.

Ntjam’s work is multidimensional, exploring themes of Afro-diasporic history and ancestry via biomorphic avatars and beings which appear extraterrestrial. Featured in the exhibition, her 19-minute film Matter Gone Wild is a poetic audiovisual exploration into revolution and systematic oppression through the lens of three distinct characters, each one residing in an psychedelic corner of some otherworldly, unfamiliar multiverse.
