Yinka Shonibare at the North Carolina Museum of Art.The North Carolina Museum of Art may not be located
in an area known for its impressive collections, but this museum refreshingly proves

Stunning works by contemporary artists Yinka Shonibare
and El Anatsui join 17th and 18th century African tribal costumes and objets,
demonstrating the fertile continuum of African craft and creativity.
