The focus is on the video works Plateau (2021–2022) and MUSCLE (2025). In Plateau, Ashadu follows illegal tin miners in the Jos-Plateau region of Nigeria. She shows how the colonial past continues to influence their lives and working conditions.
In MUSCLE she turns her camera on bodybuilders training in a modest gym in Lagos. Through intimate close-ups, she captures their strength, vulnerability and quest for recognition.
The exhibition combines film, photography and sculptures to create a unique experience in which personal stories and social themes come together.
