Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley

2 MAY until 26 JUL 2025
Opening – 2 MAY 2025, 6-9 pm

On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025, NOME is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist and archivist Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, marking her first collaboration with the gallery. Known for immersive installations blending animation, painting, sound, and performance, Brathwaite-Shirley explores intersectionality and misrepresentation through discomfort and fear.

Brathwaite-Shirley’s practice acts as a diary, blurring the boundaries between reality, simulation, and subconscious experiences. Through the use of horror and uncanny figures, she draw viewers into experiences and emotions they would typically avoid, fostering empathy through shared discomfort. The show will feature new works, including canvases, folding screens, clothing, and videos, mirroring the interactive nature of her digital works and games. By representing the Black Trans experience and by tackling transphobia and racism, Brathwaite-Shirley’s practice fosters empathy and self-awareness, pushing audiences to reconsider their perspectives on identity and marginalization.
