Bisila Noha: ‘Ile Ọkàn (House of the Soul) is a solo exhibition by Bisila Noha, a Spanish-Equatoguinean London-based ceramic artist, researcher and writer. Expanding on Bisila’s first Ile ọkàn (House of the Soul), originally built in Ikise, Nigeria, during a residency in 2025, the exhibition reflects on a 4-year journey of material and spiritual exploration.
‘Ile ọkàn' brings together sculpture, vessels, stools, photography and sound to create a space that is part shrine, part altar, part sacred room, all shaped by ritual, memory, and a desire for connection. An homage to Yoruba culture, to Bisila’s own spirituality and to women makers, the collection also pays tribute to the materials themselves – clay, plaster, bronze and wax – as the companions and teachers that they have become.
Visitors will be accompanied around the space by a soundscape by multidisciplinary artist and curator Maxine Pennington and this journey added to further by a small library curated by the Seed Archive – whose books allow you to dive even deeper and connect the works with some of the cultures Bisila has drawn inspiration from.
Surrounded by the gardens at OmVed, Ile Ọkàn seeks to create the artist’s own little universe. A space not to rush through, but to sit with, together.
