Resource Geographies * Otobong Nkanga


A reflection on the extraction of natural resources and the traces of colonialism through installations, performances, and drawings that use materials such as soil, minerals, textiles, or pigments as vehicles of memory, displacement, and repair, understanding the landscape not as a neutral backdrop but as a living archive of geopolitical conflict; her pieces transform ordinary objects into sensitive forms that invite us to rethink the relationships between matter, territory, and body, shifting art toward a space of ecological and ethical resonance where value, belonging, and exploitation are questioned from a situated perspective, which has granted her a prominent presence in the contemporary international scene.
