We’re proud to announce that Zohra Opoku’s first museum survey exhibition, We Proceed in the Footsteps of the Sunlight, will be on view this fall from September 11, 2025 to October 4, 2026, at the Zeitz MOCAA.
The exhibition traces a decade of quiet revolutions in cloth, memory, and self within the artist’s practice. It draws together textured expressions of personal history and cultural inheritance and reveals an artistic journey that is constantly in motion.
This deeply personal and powerfully poetic exhibition explores identity, ancestry, and transformation through photography, printmaking, and textile-based installation. Fabric becomes a portal revealing, protecting, and reimagining what it means to belong.
The title, drawn from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, is both declaration and guide: “I proceed in the footsteps of the sunlight.”
