A show of five works dealing with domesticity by the Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby opens at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati tomorrow (15 July). Predecessors (until 1 October) includes depictions of her grandmother’s table in Nigeria, which speaks to “a compelling slippage between utility, relic, symbol and apotheosis”, says Steven Matijcio, the show’s co-organiser. The exhibition travels to the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs later this year.
