Taiba Akhuetie: The Tone: Taiba's World of Hair 

May 22 - 24, 2026

Visionary artist Taiba Akhuetie presents The Tone: Taiba’s World of Hair, a striking new exhibition that transforms the familiar into the extraordinary. Held at London’s  renowned Sarabande Foundation, the four day presentation marks Akhuetie’s most expansive and intimate body of work to date, celebrating hair as sculpture, memory, movement, and cultural language.

Across a series of monumental installations, wearable artworks, moving image, and sculptural pieces created over the years, Akhuetie invites audiences into a world where hair becomes both material and metaphor. Braided forms rise like monuments, suspended works sway softly with breath like movement, and intricate constructions reveal the tenderness and power held within texture, craft, and ritual. 

The exhibition will also feature a short film documenting Akhuetie’s process as she creates her most ambitious hand stitched installation to date. Offering a rare insight into the discipline, patience, and craftsmanship behind the work, the film brings audiences closer to the artist’s practice and the intimacy of making.
