Exhibition Tour: Zina Saro-Wiwa: Table Manners Season I

Dive deeper into UMMA’s collection of African art with this tour starting with Table Manners: Season 1, by Nigerian artist Zina Saro-Wiwa.  In this installation, eight videos portray individuals from the Niger Delta eating meals tied to the region’s cultural and natural landscapes. The intimate dining experiences challenge our assumptions about identity, culture, and power. Our tour will then move to We Write to You About Africa. Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists—the exhibition directly addresses the complex histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
