60 Words. 60 Years.
An homage to Okwui Enwezor, who would've turned 60 today.
Okwui, oak we
Son of the soil
Born to be free
Son of the toil
Roots aplenty
Grew to a tree
Fruits aplenty
Seeds sown
God’s own
Words shone
Works shown
Documenta
Documented
Biennales
Reinvented
Nka nko?
Nsukka
To Ngor
In life, a light
Shining bright
After life, alight
Shining bright
Out of sight
And yet
Forever
On our minds
In large shows like Documenta and the Venice Biennale, he put art from around the globe on an equal footing with that of Europe and the United States.
Okwui Okpokwasili is the kind of artist that brings such captivating energy to the stage that you might not even notice your mind being blown. The New York Times called her an "enigmatic force." "Okwui Okpokwasili puts a spell on you," the Village Voice warned. But you—luckier than you know—can experience Okwui's magic first-hand tonight (May 29, 2013) at the Armory. A limited number of $20 tickets are still available for Okwui's performance in the Armory's Under Construction Series. Click here to get yours now.
