TABLE MANNERS — ZINA SARO-WIWA

One of Saro-Wiwa’s best known and best loved works, recently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and shown in Times Square as the Midnight Moment in November 2020, Table Manners is a series of works that depicts selected individuals eating dishes. In this work Zina taps into the subcutaneous layer of Niger Delta life where the engagement with nature’s bounty is presented joyfully and unapologetically. There are 16 videos in all, 8 in Season 1 which was made between 2014 and 2016, and 8 videos in Season 2 which was made in 2019. Editioned prints of the video are available. View here:
