‘Guiding Entities’ is a solo exhibition at Mima by the Glasgow-based artist Zoë Tumika that spans ceramics, film and sound. It draws on Black radical traditions of resistance and creativity.

This exhibition takes the River Tees and River Clyde as starting points to reflect on extraction, resistance and the possibility of repair. The artist, who works under the names Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie, describes their practice as “a way of processing collision and untethering” – grappling with being and belonging across temporal, material, and spiritual dimensions. Their work negotiates the charged terrain of museums as sites of cultural construction and colonial legacy. The exhibition, which includes ceramics and sound, also features a new film which blends footage from Middlesbrough, Glasgow and Australia with digital animation.

Guiding Entities: Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie, until 23 November, Mima, Middlesbrough, mima.art
