EOPHIAN ARTEFACTS - KYRA-SKY
--
In thier first solo presentation since graduating with an MFA from Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford, Pipeline gallery is proud to present the work of Kyra-Sky in Eophian Artefacts, a speculative and poetic archive that connects folklore, cosmology, and artefact. Drawing from Caribbean mythology, Afro-futurism, and Black feminist thought, they build a visual language of imagined artefacts that speak across time, place, and memory.
The works in this exhibition suggest remnants from an alternate world. Through drawing, text, and symbolic illustration, Kyra-Sky conjures objects that appear both ancient and futuristic. They act as invitations to reflect on how stories are carried, preserved, and reimagined.
Rooted in Afro-futurism, the exhibition offers a powerful reconfiguration of Black identity, imagining futures that resist erasure and celebrate ancestral knowledge. Kyra-Sky’s practice challenges dominant narratives by centering black bodies and cosmologies as sources of creativity.
Having recently completed their studies at Oxford, Kyra-Sky’s practice arrives with a clarity that is both grounded and expansive. Their work moves between the personal and the planetary, the spiritual and the material. Each artefact becomes a vessel that holds memory, magic, and meaning, resisting linear narratives and fixed understandings.
Installed in the gallery at the Picturedrome on Barton Street, Eophian Artefacts, operates at a threshold. It meets the street with quiet intensity, offering a glimpse into a cosmology where ancestral knowledge, Caribbean folk practice, and speculative futures overlap. The exhibition encourages viewers to consider how this collision of cosmology and cultural memory reframes identity, and the importance of centring and celebrating this imaginative thinking in changing arts landscape and the post-industrial, cross-cultural, heritage rich context Gloucester presents.
