Efie Gallery Opens Group Show Curated by Dexter Wimberly

Efie Gallery presents 'The Shape of Things to Come,' a group exhibition curated by Japan-based American curator Dexter Wimberly. The show features painting and sculpture by El Anatsui, Iman Issa, Abdoulaye Konaté, and Yinka Shonibare. El Anatsui is known for metal sculptures from liquor bottle caps and cassava graters. Iman Issa's 'Heritage Studies' series reimagines historical artifacts as abstract forms with interpretive texts. Abdoulaye Konaté creates large-scale textile installations using woven and dyed clothes from Mali. Yinka Shonibare explores colonialism and post-colonialism through painting, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition addresses political upheaval, technological change, cultural exchange, and environmental crisis. It runs at Efie Gallery in Dubai.
