Additional information

Choumali (b. 1974) has made her birthplace of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, where she continues to live and work, a central subject of her photographic practice. There she encountered the prevalence of bold English-language slogans on T-shirts worn by individuals who do not speak English in the markets; she became intrigued by the dissonance between these designs and the lives of the individuals wearing them.

Event continues to run during

February vacation and April vacation
