In "Alterscapes: Playground", Otobong Nkanga uses her body as a medium of expression, blending into a landscape model. She explores the connection between the land and the human hand, both creative and destructive. The wounds of the landscape reveal traumas, while her gestures suggest acts of care to heal the living.
Born in 1974 in Kano, Nigeria
A visual artist and performer, Otobong Nkanga studied art in Nigeria, Paris, and Amsterdam. Through her drawings, installations, photographs, performances, and sculptures, she explores notions of territory and the value of natural resources. Her works deeply question these themes, marking her artistic journey.
