The Lorenzo Swinton Gallery is honored to announce Kukumbatia Roho: Embracing Spirits, a solo exhibition by Aida Ayers. Opening on September 4th, 2025, this exhibition presents a profound exploration of textile, embroidery, and tapestry as vessels of memory, spirit, and cultural storytelling.

Ayers’ practice draws from her journeys and engagements across diverse landscapes, translating personal experiences and global encounters into intricately woven narratives. Her works embrace both material and metaphor, inviting viewers to consider the ways in which textiles can hold spirit, preserve history, and embody connection.

The opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 4th, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at The Lorenzo Swinton Gallery. We welcome the community, collectors, and art enthusiasts to join us in celebrating this powerful exhibition that reflects the gallery’s continued commitment to presenting emerging voices and meaningful artistic dialogue.
