Kenturah Davis

from A Black History of Art Presents: A Shared Gaze · host Alayo Akinkugbe

A conversation with Kenturah Davis, an American artist who splits her time between California and Accra, Ghana. Kenturah’s work explores an interplay of portraiture and design and spans drawing, textile, sculpture, and performance. On the occasion of her exhibition ‘clouds’ at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London, Kenturah speaks to me about her exploration of shadows and metaphysics, her desire to create works of art that encompass the viewer the way that music encompasses a listener, and some of the figures who have been inspiring her work lately: choreographer Katherine Dunham, composer Florence B. Price, theorist Saidiya Hartman, author Toni Morrison, and physicist Carlo Rovelli.‘Clouds’ was on at Stephen Friedman Gallery from 31 May to 20 July 2024. See installation shots of the exhibition here.Keep up with us:Kenturah Davis: @kenturah Alayo Akinkugbe: @ablackhistoryofart @alayoakinkugbe
