The photo shows the wrapping of the Barbican Centre in London 2024. The “Purple Hibiscus” wrapping was created by artist Ibrahim Mahama from Ghana.

9 July - 2 November 2025

Ibrahim Mahama is known for his large-scale installations that explore themes of history, labour, migration and global capitalism challenging perceptions of value, space and the global economic systems that shape everyday life. Some of his most iconic works involve draping buildings and public spaces with repurposed jute sacks, once used to transport commodities like cocoa and coal.

The exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien will present a series of new works that consider Ghana’s history via its material legacy. A large-scale installation takes up the sculptural question of mass via a series of readymades both large and small. The mechanisms, vessels and networks employed transporting goods and people are the starting point for sculpture, photographic and video works that consider the act of loading, carrying and unloading weight alongside a more abstract notion of the weight of history.
