Richard Taittinger Gallery is pleased to present Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, a survey of contemporary African art curated by Ugochukwu-Smooth C. Nzewi. Borrowing its title from Sidney Poitier's 1967 classic film, the exhibition celebrates the growing impact of African art on the global stage. The exhibition challenges received or fixed assumptions of "Africanness" as a cultural signifier or aesthetic primer in the work of twelve contemporary African artists:Aida Muluneh, Amalia Ramanankirahina, Amina Menia, Beatrice Wanjiku Njoroge, Chika Modum, Chike Obeagu, Ephrem Solomon Tegegn, Gopal Dagnogo, Halida Boughriet, Onyeka Ibe , Sam Hopkins, and Uche Uzorka.
