āMahamaās 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.āKrugliak echoed De Becker, saying how timely Mahamaās installation is.
Mahama has another installation running alongside āIn-Between the World and Dreamsā at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery at 202 S. Thayer St.
