“Dancer, Still Moving”

Victor Ekpu’s solo exhibition, “Dancer, Still Moving,  at the Goethe-Institut in Washington, DC, continues until September 30, 2026

“It was a profoundly moving evening to the see long line of people coming in to see the show”, says Ekpu.

“Sharing that space with so many familiar and new faces breathed incredible life into the artwork”, the artist gushes. 

“The energy, the conversations, and the shared connection made it a truly unforgettable night, and I am so appreciative of the community that continues to support my vision”.

Ekpu hopes that everyone who wishes will have the opportunity to visit the gallery and experience the work in person before the exhibition officially closes on September 30, 2026.

INVITATION TO ARTIST TALK

“I am also excited to invite you to my upcoming Artist Talk on Tuesday, September 29th, 2026, at the Goethe-Institut”, Ekpu offers. “This gathering will be an opportunity to hear me discuss my process of creating the sculpture “Dancer” by studying dance movements and the rich history of Logan Circle. We will explore how those concepts translated to a monumental street icon celebrating the universal language of dance as a metaphor for freedom, resilience, and joy. I will also share insights into the ongoing evolution of my artistic practice”.

For this exhibition, in addition to a new serigraph inspired by the artist’s 10-foot public sculpture, he released a set of new digital paintings titled the “Jazz Series.” These new pieces have been realized on archival pigment prints on Epson Velvet Fine art paper, they have been sitting in DVDs since 2003 and Ekpuk says he is thrilled to finally share them with the public. “They bring a new dimension of color, texture, and musicality to the themes of movement that anchor the entire show”, he explains.
