The article explores the work of Nigeria-born, Belgium-based artist Otobong Nkanga. The artist's first survey exhibition is titled "To Dig a Hole That Collapses Again," and was presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in 2018. Other topics discussed include how dismemberment is a recurring theme in her work, a rich examination of the word diaspora, and how her work is often a powerful indictment of both consumerism and colonialism.

The article focuses on several U.S. exhibitions which featured the culturally resonant sculptures of Nigerian-based artist El Anatsui. "El Anatsui Gawu" was curated by Susan Cooksey and seen at the Samuel P. Harn Museum in Gainesville. "Danudo: Recent Sculptures of El Anatsui" was on view at Skoto Gallery and the Contemporary African Art Gallery, both in New York. The exhibitions suggest that Anatsui is less concern about the specific original functions of his materials than the basic fact that they derive from his immediate everyday world.
