Otobong Nkanga: Each Seed a Body

April 5, 2025 - August 17, 2025

The work of Otobong Nkanga (b. 1974) reconsiders our relationship with the land and the materials extracted from it, engaging a dynamic and deeply considered range of materials within an equally diverse practice. Among the many notable and celebrated aspects of her work is her tendency to adapt artworks and projects each time they are exhibited or performed in a new location, allowing the concept to anchor itself to the local ecosystem, resources, and complex histories of that particular place. At the Nasher, Nkanga will continue this thread, presenting newly conceived iterations of major recurring projects, including Carved to Flow (2017-), along with a new work, each responding to the North Texas region.

The period it encompasses spans two world wars, astounding technological innovations, dramatic changes to the earth’s environment, and increased movement across geographic borders for people of all kinds. All the while, artists have continued to find new ways to give form to concerns as old as humanity itself.
