In capturing the fraught relationships among people and their environments, Otobong Nkanga illuminates the social, political, and economic histories--and legacies--of colonialism. This beautifully illustrated book, which focuses on the artist's drawings, is published in conjunction with Nkanga's first US survey and showcases the artist's compelling and thought-provoking oeuvre: MCA curator Omar Kholeif's essay reveals the rich background of Nkanga's varied subjects, including the historic realities of Nigeria, memories of her childhood, as well as the signs of global, covert economies. In a narrative piece, the acclaimed author and art historian Teju Cole offers a poignant counterpart to Nkanga's work as he reflects on his experiences growing up in Nigera. And interspersed throughout the monograph are the artist's newly written poems, inspired by the city of Chicago"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Nkanga, Otobong, $d 1974- $v Exhibitions, $e author. $e author. 650 7 $a ART / Collections, Catalogs, Exhibitions / Group Shows. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Performance art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Personality and culture $x In art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Painting, Nigerian $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Exhibitions. 650 7 $a ART / Digital. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / Conceptual. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Performance art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057852 650 7 $a Painting, Nigerian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051031 650 7 $a Art, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816615 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 $a Kholeif, Omar, $e curator. $e curator. 700 1 $a Cole, Teju, $e contibutor. 700 12 $a Nkanga, Otobong, $d 1974- $t Works. $k Selections. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017023943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98A26AE8462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
