Sudanese artist presented in London’s Serpentine Gallery
First solo show is a collaboration of the Sharjah Art Foundation with The Africa Institute
London’s Serpentine South Gallery is presenting for the first time the solo show ‘State of Oneness’ by pioneering Sudanese artist Kamala Ibrahim Ishag, opening this October 7 and running until January 29, 2023, with admission free of charge.
The exhibition will include new pieces as well as some of the historic art works from an artist who has “forged a unique and expansive practice that embraces different earthly and spiritual landscapes, as well as histories of Sudanese visual culture.”
‘State of Oneness’ is organised by Serpentine and the Sharjah Art Foundation in collaboration with The Africa Institute, to showcase a career in contemporary art that has spanned more than sixty years.
As one of the first women to graduate from Khartoum’s College of Fine and Applied Art in 1963, Kamila’s work now resides in international collections including The Jordan National Museum of Fine Art, Sharjah Art Foundation, the Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
