Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys centres on a display of sixteen extraordinarily diverse traditional West African masks. These masks, part of the Agnes’ Justin and Elisabeth Lang Collection, appear in chorus with the contemporary work of five Canadian artists from the African and Asian diasporas: Anthony Gebrehiwot, Jill Glatt, Jessica Karuhanga, Camille Turner, and Winsom Winsom.

Employing photography, new media and video, textile installation and more, the artists of Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys reflect on diasporic roots by exploring themes of identity, transformation, the body, belonging, place and regional histories. The exhibition collectively invites us to explore the relationship between the past and present, and how our physical and spiritual journeys shape who we are.

Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys

As we move around London, signs are all around us, announcing the names of businesses and alerting us to services offered and goods available. In our everyday lives, signs can become part of the landscape, standing out when needed and fading into the background when not. 

As museum objects, however, signs are the physical traces of a past London that only some may remember well. Many recall with affection, for example, Johnny and Dorothy Downs’ banquet facility, the Latin Quarter Place. As we move further into the past, though, London becomes an unfamiliar place. Where was Balkwill’s Hotel, for instance, and who ran it? This exhibition featuring signs from Museum London’s extensive artifact collection recalls and revives this fascinating forest city of yesteryear. It will also introduce some equally compelling Londoners. The signs in _London Recalling_ are mounted high on one of Museum London’s barrel vault walls.  This not only makes the most of the Museum’s architecture but also displays the signs as they would have been seen when first used.
