Toyin Ojih Odutola is transforming the museum’s east cabinet into “Adijatu Straße,” a station on the fictional U22 underground line. Her work examines social and political dynamics through the vehicle of skin, the fluidity of expression and the meaning of darkness and light. These narrative portraits, drawn on paper, board and linen, trace the lives of various characters and incorporate every day or monumental settings, often interwoven with architectural details.
