Tri-Star Arts is pleased to present an upcoming solo exhibition in their Main Gallery at the historic Candoro Marble Building featuring recent works by artist Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi (Johannesburg, South Africa). Curator: Brian R. Jobe. 

Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi obtained her BA from Harvard University (2004) and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York (2008). She divides her time between studio work, performance, and navigating the field of art as social practice. Her work investigates the lived consequences of imperial histories and the personal dimensions of political identities, collectivity, and futurity, among other concepts.

There will be an artist talk on the evening of Thursday, April 3, 2025 at the University of Tennessee School of Art (room AA109) co-presented by the UT School of Art Galleries.

The exhibition will run from Friday, April 4 to Saturday, June 21, 2025 with an opening reception on Friday, April 4th from 5-8pm. The address is 4450 Candora Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37920 and admission is always free of charge.
