From her earliest days working with line and colour, through to her monumental installations of swirling vortexes, Kalu's practice is driven by rhythm and repetition that guides her movements and shapes her environments. This film discusses her journey making art from from disused shop spaces to major international exibitions, exploring how her process has evolved from clustered bursts of colour into more complex circular forms. We hear from ActionSpace and a range of voices who have supported and championed Kalu to create art on her own terms. Nnena Kalu is nominated for the 2025 Turner Prize, on display at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in Bradford, 27 September 2025 to 22 February 2026. Written by
