September 21: Rethink waste and loss when you hear Nigerian artist Nnenna Okore

IUPUI will be the location for an exhibit of work by the Nigerian artist Nnenna Okore from September 30-November 12. Hear Okore talk about her work. Okore reuses discarded materials in textured layers to create unique artworks. She has become emblematic of the millions of Nigerians who live a life abroad, forced to find an identity between the ties of their origin and new cultural influences in their host country. As an artist, Okore is more than able to let her audience take part in this quest for identity.

When: Wednesday September 21, 5:00 pm
Where: IUPUI Eskenazi Hall Basile Auditorium
