Artists: Mimi Ọnụọha in conversation with Jeanette Pacher
<p>What can we truly know about ourselves and our histories in an age of hypervisibility, when algorithms and social structures alike decide not only what is seen but what is pushed into invisibility or irrelevance?</p> <p>On the afternoon of 28 November 2025, Mimi Ọnụọha talked about her exhibition <em>Soft Zeros</em>; what she learned about collecting data and organizing it, about the Convict Leasing system and the impact is has had especially on Black lives in the USA, and about collective forgetting and denial over a 2-year research stretch and in the process of creating the new body of work that is presented in the exhibition.</p> <p>Mimi Ọnụọha<br /> <em>Soft Zeros</em><br /> 29.11.2025 – 22.2.2026</p>
