Yinka Shonibare: Sanctuary presents the U.S. debut of Sanctuary City (2024), a major installation by British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare (b. 1962, London, UK). The installation comprises 18 scaled-down replicas of historical and contemporary buildings that have served as sites of refuge for persecuted and vulnerable individuals across centuries. Displayed in a darkened gallery, each black-painted structure glows from within, its interior illuminated and lined with Shonibare’s signature Dutch wax textiles, transforming the space into a constellation of sanctuary havens that appear as beacons of light and hope.
