Painting Memories: Monilola Ilupeju’s Journey Through Belonging, Lineage, and Arrival

In this intimate conversation with artist and author Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju, we explore the emotional landscapes of arrival, memory, and intergenerational connection. Speaking from her exhibition Musafiri – Of Travellers and Guests at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Ilupeju reflects on the quiet rituals that shape her practice, the tension between displacement and belonging, and how painting becomes an act of care, vulnerability, and ancestral remembrance.

In the month of International Women’s Day, we celebrate the voices that speak for intersectional feminism and sacred rebellion. Céline Semaan’s “A Woman is a School”, published by The Slow Factory, calls us to reclaim our bodies, our stories, and our collective wisdom. A reminder of the power of language to emancipate us in times of struggle.

Mind, Body, Language: How the Book “A Woman is a School” Rewrites Rebellion

Language is power. In the month of International Women’s Day, we celebrate the voices that speak for intersectional feminism and sacred rebellion. Céline Semaan’s “A Woman is a School”, published by The Slow Factory, reclaims language and the body as sacred vessels for eco-liberation and justice. Her words call us to action: it's time to stand together in solidarity for justice and collective healing. A reminder of the power of language to emancipate us in times of struggle. None of us is free, until all of us are free.
