The 4 R’s: Resist, Reclaim, Reframe, Retain

Curated Exhibition by Ms. Michi Masumi, BA, MA📍 The Halpern Gallery, October 2025

Step into a month-long visual journey exploring Black British counternarratives through art, activism, aesthetics, and AI. The 4 R’s is a curated exhibition by Ms. Michi Masumi, a UK-based Photographer, Digital & AI Artist, Poet, and Designer. As a Digital & Ethnographic Anthropologist specialising in CRT Autonomy, Black Studies, Intersectionality, and Black Methodologies, Michi invites you to engage with themes of resistance, reclamation, reframing, and cultural retention.

This exhibition features symbolic origami installations, generative AI artworks, archival photography, and poetic interventions that challenge dominant narratives and celebrate Black cultural memory. Each week, Michi will host a live talk unpacking one of the four R’s, offering insight into her PhD research and creative praxis.
