WOLE SOYINKA: Antiquities Across Times and Place

June 6, 2018 - November 4, 2018

What does it mean when artists collect other arts, especially those outside their own practices? Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka avidly collects sculptural and other visual art forms from Africa as references that are significant for their spatial and temporal denotations but also arguably for his dramaturgy and literature. Diverse in media and textual tones – stone, clay, bronze, wood and shell, Soyinka’s collection is deliberately eclectic and reflects a persistent practice of adding to his archives.

Curated by Awam Amkpa

Open: Tuesday – Sunday, 9.30 – 18.30

Due to unforseen circumstances, only a sampling of Soylinka’s collection can be viewed within the exhibition, ReSignifications at ZAC, Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, Via Paolo Gili 4, Palermo.
