Juried Student Show

Guest Juror Kekeli Sumah

November 22鈥揇ecember 6, 2019

Open to all students at Hope, the competitive Juried Student Show is an annual fixture in the De Pree gallery. Each year, the Department of Art and Art History invites a recognized artist or curator to select and judge the student work.

Kekeli Sumah is an audio-visual artist and serves as curatorial fellow at the Driehaus Museum in Chicago. Sumah received his bachelor鈥檚 degree in fine art and visual critical studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Born in Accra, Ghana, he moved to Vienna, Austria, to complete his secondary education. Sumah鈥檚 cross-disciplinary works explore the cultural politics of globalization and the construction of identity, particularly the tangled interrelationship between Europe and Africa. Sumah uses the lens of post-colonialism and hybridity to question the constituent characteristics of contemporary identity by mingling Western art historical traditions with the 鈥淥ther.鈥�
