“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”

While the art world has become global in reach during the past several decades, contemporary artists from Africa are still vastly underrepresented at art fairs, galleries and museum in the West, despite the creative energy and innovation of artists who either make their home on the continent, or who work as part of the worldwide African diaspora. This exhibition, curated by art historian Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi aims to remedy that relative lack of exposure with his lineup of 12 names working in all mediums, who aren’t well-known outside of their respective communities. Look out for Beatrice Wanjiku’s Expressionistic figurative paintings, Chika Modum’s sculptural installations made of hair and Halida Boughriet’s photographic portraits, to name just a few.
