When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting at Zeitz MOCAA featuring works by Eniwaye Oluwaseyi and YoYo Lander
We are proud to see works from Eniwaye Oluwaseyi and YoYo Lander part of the group exhibition When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting at Zeitz MOCAA from 20 November 2022 until 3 September 2023.
When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting comprises an exhibition, publication and discursive programming that explores Black self-representation and celebrates global Black subjectivities and Black consciousness from pan-African and pan-diasporic perspectives. It boldly brings together artworks from the last 100 years, by Black artists working globally, into dialogue with leading Black thinkers, writers and poets who are active today.
The exhibition includes works by artists such as Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Zandile Tshabalala, Jacob Lawrence, Chéri Samba, Danielle McKinney, Archibald Motley, Ben Enwonwu, Kingsley Sambo, Sungi Mlengeya, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Cyprien Tokoudagba, Amy Sherald, Mmapula Mmakgabo Helen Sebidi and Joy Labinjo, to name a few, and in many instances bring these artists and their practice in dialogue for the first time.
