Join us at the opening reception of highlifetime, an exhibition of new work by David Alekhuogie at Yancey Richardson. Bringing together work from his series A Reprise—including layered, wall-mounted works that combine photographs, collage, and sculpture—Alekhuogie continues his exploration of how narrative and authorship are embedded in Western presentations of African art while reflecting on how Black aesthetics are circulated, accessed, valued, and interpreted today.
David Alekhuogie: A Reprise (Aperture, 2025) will be available for purchase at a book signing with the artist during the opening reception. The exhibition is on view from September 2 through October 18, 2025.
