Inspired by the heritage and landscapes of Africa, artist and designer Zainab Sumu creates woven sculptures, sculptural couture, and paintings rich in color, texture, and symbolism. Her work is a personal intertextual exploration of cultural memory, identity, and resilience.

“I record sublime, mysterious moments to create historical reportage, captured and frozen in time.” Zainab Sumu

Zainab Sumu’s work is included in the permanent collections of The Peabody Essex Museum, the ‘Quin House and private collections worldwide.
