"Harmattan Tales" looks at what it means to be a woman in the African Muslim world

 

Mariane Ibrahim Gallery in Seattle is giving German-Ghanaian artist Zohra Opoku her first solo show on the West Coast.

The contemporary African art scene is largely an unknown quantity on our shores — which is why we’re lucky to have Mariane Ibrahim Gallery in Seattle bringing notable African artists our way.

 

Past highlights have included the extraordinary photography of gay Kenyan artist Jimmy Chuchu and Senegal-based Fabrice Monteiro. Now, with “Harmattan Tales,” Ibrahim is giving German-Ghanaian artist Zohra Opoku her first solo show on the West Coast.
