- Free admission

The Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York, is dedicating its first solo museum exhibition to Coumba Samba. This Senegalo-American artist, based in the metropolis, is praised for her site-specific installations that reinterpret the codes of modernism and minimalism.
Coumba Samba excels at revealing the invisible: she draws from seemingly neutral and non-objective architectural and urban forms to expose the powerful social, political, and economic structures they convey. Her work offers a fresh perspective on our built environment.
A major opportunity to discover an artist who challenges our perception of everyday life. A must-see from September 19, 2026, to January 18, 2027.
