Friday, March 15, 2019, was a sad day for the art world, following the demise of Nigerian curator, art critic, writer, and poet, Okwui Enwezor.
Enwezor who is hugely celebrated for his works which seek to remap the world through art, staged numerous engaging exhibitions in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Enwezor is credited as the first African to take charge of the 120-year-old festival, which is one of the most important fixtures on the global contemporary art circuit.The official theme for the exhibition was “All the World’s Futures”, and Enwezor set the tone for how that was interpreted by centering his own show around “Das Kapital”, Karl Marx’s dissection of capitalism’s origins and dynamics.
Enwezor had a plethora of awards to his name, including the prestigious Frank Jewett Mather Award for art criticism from the College Art Association.
