This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Between Wood and Wheel presented at the South London Gallery from 31 January - 11 May 2025, showcasing Christina Kimeze's latest paintings, works on paper and a newly commissioned tapestry. 

The publication includes newly commissioned essays by writer, curator and broadcaster Ekow Eshun, and Eleanor Nairne, the Keith L. and Katherine Sachs Curator and Head of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The texts delve into the central themes of Kimeze's work over the past five years, exploring her use of materials - particularly suede mat board - and the impact of Black feminist writers, such as Lucille Clifton and Alice Walker, on her practice. Themes of interiority, relationship with the inner-self, nostalgia, and memories of her father's homeland of Uganda also emerge.

The publication features creative prose, including poems by Clifton and Thom Gunn, as well as close examinations of British colonial politics in Uganda, all grounded in the artist’s personal experience. Together, these texts reveal the wide-ranging influences that have shaped Kimeze’s work to date. The book includes a conversation between Christina Kimeze and Alayo Akinkugbe, writer, curator, and creator of the Instagram platform A Black History of Art. 

For the cover of her first monographic book, Kimeze has created a specially designed three-color screenprint on linen.
