Artist Otobong Nkanga has unveiled a major new installation titled 'I Dreamt of You in Colours' at the Kunsthalle Basel. The immersive, site-specific work explores themes of memory, landscape, and the extraction of natural resources through a complex tapestry of textiles, drawings, and sculptural elements.
The exhibition marks a significant institutional solo show for Nkanga, whose multidisciplinary practice has gained international prominence. It underscores the growing critical and curatorial focus on artists addressing ecological and post-colonial narratives within contemporary art, positioning Nkanga as a leading voice in this global discourse.
