The Kunstmuseum St.Gallen and Le Consortium (Dijon) present the first institutional solo exhibition of Tschabalala Self (*1990 Harlem, New York) in Europe. The work of the American artist has received great international attention in recent years thanks to its unique visual presence. On Thursday 25 May 2023 the exhibition will be accompanied by an input lecture and discussion with Dr. Christoph A. Karlo on the topic of human rights with a focus on people of colour.

Tschabalala Self (*1990 Harlem, New York) works intensively with painting as a medium. In it, she works the picture surface with different colours as well as with fabric and thread. With these materials, she creates figures that do not depict individuals, but rather display avatars. The artist draws on her personal experiences as a Black woman in America. In this context, she stages bodies that are often exaggerated and isolated within imagined environments.

Admission to the event on May 25th is free.

Time: 19.00 - 20.00h
