Contemporary African Art Exhibition Series
  

Coming to Town

Posted under News on 06 January, 2011

All at Mojo are looking forward to the return of London-based curator Annabelle Nwankwo-Mu'azu in Dubai this weekend, ahead of the second exhibition in the
As It Is! series.

Annabelle will join Gallery Director Kurt Blanckenburg and Project Manager Shannon Ayers Holden in welcoming two of the five exhibiting artists to the United Arab Emirates for the first time.

Nigerian born Tola Wewe, whose works are widely acclaimed for their originality, simplicity, surface texture and mastery of colours, is considered one of the most talented minds from the African continent. His work is a hybrid of African and western sensibilities and images, reflecting his own training and experience as an international artist.

Tola is joined by Brussels based Pélagie Gbaguidi, whose work work can be seen as an ensemble – an anthropologic frieze; using working material as painting, photo, writing, drawings, installation, as reflections of individual and collective memory.

The second exhibition in four-part As It Is! series, 'Ancestral Spaces - Translated Identities' also features artists: K. Kenny Adewuyi, Momodou Ceesay and Owusu-Ankomah and opens Wednesday 12th January.
