Artist-curator Zina-Saro Wiwa presents works by artists working out of Nigera, the UK and the USA exploring the semiotics of the iconic pineapple fruit and expanding its cultural narratives.
About
For The Pineapple Show, Zina Saro-Wiwa has drawn together a group of artists working out of Nigeria, the UK and the United States who have produced artworks that explore the semiotics of the iconic pineapple fruit and expand its cultural narratives. The exhibition demonstrates Boys' Quarters' commitment to examining the relationship between self and environment and sees the gallery continue its investigations into local food and food cultures, re-defining and re-imagining what 'environmentalism' can mean.
Artists exhibited are: Elizabeth Colomba (Martinique/USA), Ian Deleón (USA/Brazil/Cuba), Ayana Evans (USA), Jowhor Ile (Nigeria), Odili Donald Odita (USA/Nigeria), Perrin Oglafa (Nigeria), Temitayo Ogunbiyi (Nigeria), Zina Saro-Wiwa (Nigeria/USA/UK), Johnson Uwadinma (Nigeria) and Arlene Wandera (Kenya/UK).
This project has been made possible thanks to the generous support of the A.G. Leventis Foundation.
