The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is featuring the artist Otobong Nkanga’s first monographic exhibition in a Parisian museum in fall 2025.

Following her studies at the Obafemi Awolowo University of Ife-Ife in Nigeria, then the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris and the artist residency of Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, the artist examines the social, political, historical, and economic relationships at work in our connection to territory, materials, and nature through the production of a multidisciplinary practice (paintings, installations, tapestries, performances, poetry, etc.).
