Where: Burton At Bideford Art Gallery and Museum, Kingsley Road, Bideford EX39 2QQ
Time: 10am - 4pm

This exhibition of woodblock prints and hand-painted sculptures of African ritual artefacts showcases Yinka Shonibare CBE’s evolving printmaking practice over the past several years.
Through examining race, class and the construction of cultural identity, his work comments on the tangled interrelationship between Africa and Europe, and their respective economic and political histories.
Shonibare was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2004, and his first public art commission was displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2010. His works are in notable museum collections throughout the world.
The exhibition coincides with a solo exhibition of his work at Serpentine South Gallery in London. He is also one of the eight artists selected for the Nigerian Pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
