Susanne Wenger “Àdùnní Olórìṣà” at HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Graz

The HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark in Graz is presenting "Àdùnní Olórìṣà," a major exhibition of Austrian-Nigerian artist Susanne Wenger. This marks a significant homecoming for Wenger's work, which has not been shown in depth in Austria for over two decades, and features her sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints, and batik textiles.

The exhibition is important as it reintroduces a complex, cross-cultural figure who defied easy categorization. Wenger's work, which blends European surrealism with Yoruba spirituality and mythology, challenges Western art historical narratives and highlights a unique artistic practice that bridged continents and belief systems, making her a pivotal yet under-recognized post-1945 artist.
