THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Nigerian artist Jacqueline Suowari’s Art Report Africa account of the 2026 Armory Show centred on works that changed through close observation. Her selections included Dominique Zinkpè’s clustered figures, Desmond Beach’s textile portraits and Austin Uzor’s constructed, weathered materials. The essay connected artistic technique with inherited knowledge, Black representation and memories of Nigeria, showing how material choices carry stories across different practices.
