Museum exhibition
Ibrahim Mahama unveils a new site-specific commission, curated by Nada Prlja, at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), marking his first exhibition in North Macedonia. Mahama’s work encompasses the entirety of the main volume of the Museum building’s modernist facade, spanning more than 1100 m2.
The textile surface, comprised of over 1000 jute bags that wrap the building as a double skin, is used daily for the transport of goods, primarily in the economies of the Global South, bearing traces and histories of labour and exchange, referencing themes such as globalisation and migration, exploitation and economic inequalitieс. By stitching the jute sacks together and installing them over the architectural volume of the museum building, the work examines how personal narratives are embedded in matter and how architecture can function as a political mirror.
