Ivna Esajas, the recipient of the ABN AMRO Art Award 2025, presents her solo exhibition, 'Wayward Lines. Consent Not To Be a Single Being.', at the Stedelijk Museum.

The exhibition is conceived as two complementary parts, 'Consent Not To Be a Single Being' and 'Wayward Lines,' mirroring the A and B sides of an LP. This structure examines joint authorship and ownership, creating a space for multifaceted perspectives on the lived experience of Blackness, grounded in everyday life, intergenerational knowledge, and constant contextual evolution. The exhibition was curated by Amal Alhaag, and its themes are inspired by myths, personal stories, Black feminism, science fiction, literature, and everyday life, building a poetic and balanced universe in constant motion.
