Overview

Tendered is the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the filmic works of Karimah Ashadu (British/Nigerian, b. 1985), winner of the Silver Lion for Promising Young Artist at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Published on the occasion of Ashadu’s first institutional exhibitions in London at Camden Art Centre, and Chicago at the Renaissance Society, this detailed overview of her filmic practice features newly commissioned essays, an extended conversation with the artist and a collection of synopses documenting her video installations. It is a rich resource for readers who hope to gain an understanding of the breadth of Ashadu’s work to date, which engages with contemporary manifestations of Nigerian history borne by its people and landscapes. The publication covers more than a decade of works (2012–25), including Ashadu’s newly commissioned film MUSCLE, and features contributions from the artist herself; Myriam Ben Salah, executive director and chief curator at the Renaissance Society, Chicago; Leonardo Bigazzi, curator at Fondazione In Between Art Film; Gina Buenfeld-Murley, curator at Camden Art Centre, London; Martin Clark, director of Camden Art Centre; Dr. Clive Chijioke Nwonka, associate professor of film, culture and society at University College London; Alessandro Rabottini, artistic director of Fondazione In Between Art Film; Bettina Steinbrügge, director of Mudam Luxembourg; and Arese Uwuoruya, assistant curator at Camden Art Centre.
