(Copyright 2020 Michigan Photography)Mahama visited Ann Arbor in 2019 as a Penny Stamps Speaker Series presenter. โMahamaโs installation, for UMMA, is both a prompt and a promise: We want to be transparent about histories of colonialist collecting practices and critical towards what stories we tell about our works of art and why.โKrugliak echoed De Becker, saying how timely Mahamaโs installation is. Mahama has another installation running alongside โIn-Between the World and Dreamsโ at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery at 202 S. Thayer St.
