Fatimah Nyeema Warner, better known by her stage name Noname, is a multifaceted artist who has been defined by her revolutionary lyricism and controversial internet presence for the past decade. Emerging from the Chicago hip-hop scene, Noname has (paradoxically) made a name for herself as a politically active artist, joining the ranks of musicians like John Lennon, Sinead O’Connor, and Kendrick Lamar by using her platform to address global issues. Since her first official musical feature on Chance the Rapper’s second mixtape, “Acid Rap,” her work has garnered critical acclaim, but her complex relationship with fame and the music industry has led her to frequently reevaluate her place in it.

Through her inaugural solo exhibition in LA, “Wherever Your Mother’s Shadow Falls” Tu investigates the intricate relationship between emotion, embodiment, and the self, using the interplay of light and shadow across detailed fragments of the body.

Unlike traditional fashion houses that chase the waves of passing fads, Adam-Leenaerdt’s work is unanchored to the present landscape of trends in fashion’s rapid cycle.
