The Friedrich Vordemberge Scholarship for Visual Arts of the City of Cologne goes this year to the artist Aduni Ogunsan. The exhibition associated with it, „The Hum Of Your Rhythm“ in the artothek - Raum für junge Kunst, will be opened on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, at 20:00 by Derya Karadag, Mayor of the City of Cologne.
In her large-format and colourful paintings, Aduni Ogunsan deals with people from her personal environment, that is, with family members, friends and groups from her everyday social life. The starting point for this is her engagement with a family photo album from a time before Ogunsan's birth. It shows people whom she cannot clearly identify, but to whom she sees a personal connection, which she follows up on.
