We’re proud to welcome back Derrick Ofosu Boateng for a solo exhibition celebrating motherhood at OSCAM Amsterdam.

Since the very start of his practice tributing the joy, energy and pride of life in Accra, the concept of family has been ever present. It was in fact Derrick’s father, a wise man of the Ashanti who taught him all about the truths and inspirations behind the proverbs of the culture.

His own family but also the aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters that together make his extended larger family have been portrayed in the work. For this exhibition, a collection of iconic works are shown, celebrating the concept of Motherhood.

On view from Sept 18th – Feb 28th ’25
OSCAM, Bijlmerplein 110, Amsterdam

Alex Blanco (b. 1988) originally from Odessa, Ukraine, is a fine art photographer and storyteller. Her work about her home country has become more relevant than ever, with the Russian invasion in February 2022. Her hope to revive the cheerful atmosphere of Odesa faded as the city became a landscape of fear and despair. Two years later, Odesa still suffers from daily shelling. Alex Blanco’s series “Meat, Fish & Aubergine Caviar” has now become an ode to all that has been lost – a tribute to the fleeting moments of joy in the deep and turbulent ocean of life.

All profits will go to Alex Blanco’s charity of choice in Odessa: Monster Corporation Charitable Foundation

‘It is exciting to see there’s now a huge interest in Black portraiture that’s neither rooted in these negative stereotypes, nor merely celebrating Black excellence. It’s a type of portraiture that celebrates the middle, meaning the mundane, or domestic bliss. It’s something that for a long time we never really got to see: a peek inside the everyday lives of middle class Africans or Afro-Americans.’
