Stadtgalerie Alte Post, Stephanstraße 4, Westerland, Sylt · 8 to 23 November 2024 · opening 7 November
A solo exhibition for Kobina Nyarko, invited by the Sylter Kunstfreunde. Fourteen works on the ocean, its shoals and the plastic that now swims with them.
During the exhibition Kobina’s paintings went into three Sylt schools: in the workshop “Rainbow and Plastic Waste” children worked with the motifs and with beach plastic. A 1,000-piece puzzle of Rainbow in the Atlantic Ocean supported the initiative Bye Bye Plastik.
