Ibrahim Mahama: A Spell of Good Things
Opening in New York in September 2024, White Cube is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Ibrahim Mahama, featuring a new installation and a series of charcoal drawings that take the colonial-era railways of Ghana as a primary point of reference.
Building upon the artist鈥檚 continuing investigation into economies of labour and migration, the exhibition explores the latent potential of salvaged industrial materials to construct visual narratives around local production and trade.
