Exhibition: 'Twists, Turns and Broken Doors'
Dorothy Amenuke
Main Gallery @ Nubuke Foundation
ongoing till 10 September 2017 |
Dorothy Amenuke’s use of fabric and material in her sculpture is to bring them into 3-dimensional planes- staging situations and associations whilst inviting viewers or participants to engage with pertinent social issues in our society today.
Being held at Nubuke Foundation’s main gallery, visitors will be confronted with amorphous shapes, screens and rows made up from hand printed jute, hand-made paper, palm fibre, a variety of threads and netting, polyester fabrics, scroll-like tapestries, tubular forms which she has transformed, through several iterations and manipulation.
Visitors are invited to experience fabric and material as they have never imagined- sculpted!

Short pieces from 8 Ghanaian writers stitched together into a theatre production exploring communication and life in the age of social media, where everything is filtered back to us depending on where and with whom we choose to commune.
At times hilariously funny, at times heart wrenching, and always slightly disturbing, this year's collection of short plays makes us question everything we see and hear on and off line.
