“They’re already gonna consume us,” says the African-Canadian sculptor Esmaa Mahamoud. “It might as well be out in the open. They should consume us in the light of the truth, in the light of racial injustice, in the light of the things we don’t usually want to talk about.” In her exhibition at Kavi Gupta Gallery, the artist intends to turn on all these lights. The four featured sculptures—a pink Cadillac, a 12-foot-tall peacock chair, a trio of African faces carved from shea butter, and dandelions of black steel—are unsparing in their message, each representing images of Black experience, both painful and proud. —Paulina Prosnitz
