Ayobola Kekere-Ekun -- Let Us Go Where the Ones Who Sleep Dance

Ayobola Kekere-Ekun -- Let Us Go Where the Ones Who Sleep Dance
Nigerian artist working in quilling -- paper strips rolled into portraits -- at Rele, the first African gallery to plant a flag in LA. Belonging and existence as subject, craft as the argument. Gatekept show, gallery-world signal, near-zero broad heat.
