What does a better world look like? For painter Nengi Omuku, it looks like lush forests, tranquil gardens, and people given the space to simply be.
In her first US solo museum exhibition, the Nigerian artist paints dream-like scenes on sanyan, a handwoven Yoruba ceremonial textile, placing her figures in environments of healing and possibility.
“The Gathering” pairs her work with sculptures and textiles from our arts of Africa collection, weaving together themes of ancestry, nature, and community across time.
