Born in Nigeria, contemporary artist Otobong Nkanga will install new and existing works at Tate St Ives.
Her work explores the social and topographic changes of the environment. The artist observes their inherent complexities and understands how resources, such as soil and land, and their potential values, are subjected to regional and cultural analysis.
Drawings, installations, photographs and sculptures of Nkang are devoted to complex and fraught stories around the politics of the earth and its relationship to the human body.
