Chioma Ebinama (New Jersey, USA, 1988) has developed a syncretic practice that brings together Igbo cosmology, the Christianity she inherited from her Nigerian parents, African ritual sculpture and Japanese manga. Through watercolour on paper —understood as a meditative act and a means of communicating with the visible and invisible worlds— she seeks to create "new mythologies for the African diaspora": images that do not fix an origin, but rather invoke alternative forms of knowledge through play. For the artist, play constitutes a political stance and a form of resistance. What’s Coming 4

Them Is Coming 4 U (2025) is a series of watercolours on Khadi paper, created using sumi ink, gouache and coffee, which explore the spiritual and emotional dimensions of the present through a dialogue between the apocalyptic, the dreamlike and the playful. The title encapsulates one of the work's central tensions: the language of text messages conveys a warning with biblical resonance at the speed of digital communication, as if the announcement of the Apocalypse were arriving via a WhatsApp message. Black swans with doll-like faces, smiling flowers, weeping angels and figures in exodus inhabit a bestiary inspired by the Book of Revelation, reinterpreting the apocalyptic not as an end, but as a threshold: a space of transition where the stories of other cultures and species are capable of opening up new forms of interspecies care.
