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

Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 2:00–3:00pm

Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery

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.
