Victoria-Idongesit Udondian, “Nsinam me ke ndi Owo”

Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present “Nsinam me ke ndi Owo,” a solo exhibition by international artist Victoria-Idongesit Udondian. Featuring a multisensory installation of mixed-media works spanning textile, sculpture, video, and sound, the exhibition will be on view from January 23 through March 14, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday, January 23, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main.

The exhibition immerses viewers in a dimly lit gallery populated by suspended shrouds of repurposed fabric, cast from human forms and hovering above beds of flowers and hands reaching upward toward their silhouettes. These floating bodies are animated by projected video of ocean waves and enveloping sound, scattering light across their forms. Central to the exhibition is “How Can I Be Nobody,” a 10-minute video created in collaboration with immigrant communities in the New York area. The work weaves together personal testimony, news media, and archival footage to examine migration, labor, and post-colonial histories.
