With Yinka Shonibare, Touria El Glaoui, moderated by Dr. Ziba Ardalan
7 pm · £8/6 (conc.) · Booking required
Join New York-based artist Tschabalala Self for an insightful discussion. Self has created an intriguing group of works in painting, printmaking and sculpture that show evidence of being influenced by the fractured vision of Cubism and use materials, such as paint, fabric and paper. These diverse materials allow Self to shift the content and meaning of her work from a personal stance to a collective and cultural dimension
Touria El Glaoui is the Founding Director of 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair, which takes place biannually in London and New York. In 2016, Touria El Glaoui was listed amongst the 100 most powerful women in Africa by Forbes.
