Otobong Nkanga’s Acts at the Crossroads examines interdependence

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob’s January 2020 review of Otobong Nkanga’s Acts at the Crossroads at Zeitz MOCAA considers how her drawings, textiles, photographs and installations connect bodies, land and resource extraction. The critic reads the survey through networks of mutual influence rather than a hierarchy separating humanity from nature. Works including Social Consequences II and Taste of a Stone become starting points for questions about ecological damage, labour and cultural memory.
