Akinsanya Kambon: The Hero Avenges Book Launch and Artist Walkthrough
To celebrate the opening of our summer exhibition, Akinsanya Kambon: Soul Sessions, we invite you to join us on Saturday, May 30 at 4pm for a book launch and artist-led walkthrough.

The presentation at SculptureCenter is curated by Sohrab Mohebbi, Director, and Jovanna Venegas, Curator, with Sharon Liu, Asymmetry Curatorial Fellow. The presentation at CARA is curated by Manuela Moscoso, Executive and Artistic Director, with curatorial support from Marian Chudnovsky, Curatorial Assistant.
