Six must-see gallery exhibitions during Berlin Art Week
"A newcomer among this year’s initiatives is Suite Berlin, which sees four international galleries – Mendes Wood DM, Thaddaeus Ropac, Pace, and Mariane Ibrahim – join forces for a series of talks and exhibitions. Hosted in a private townhouse, Suite Berlin reads as an invitation to intimacy and quality time – not a bad idea, as art audiences enter the busiest season of the year. "
A compelling series of recent works by Zohra Opoku is showcased as part of Suite Berlin. Inspired by the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, Opoku’s work delves into the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife, while engaging deeply with the politics of personal identity. This series includes both works on canvas and sculptures, reflecting Opoku’s intricate blend of photography, textiles, and symbolism.
