Iba Ndiaye: Between Latitude and Longitude New York Performances

Now on view at the Met, **“Iba Ndiaye: Between Latitude and Longitude”** situates the Senegalese painter and teacher in the crosscurrents of postwar modernism, decolonization, and international travel. The exhibition follows how Ndiaye’s work moved between place and diaspora, using portraiture and figuration to test what identity looks like when it is shaped by multiple geographies. In New York, it reads as a corrective to a canon that has often filed African modernists to the margins. The show’s quiet rigor lies in how it treats movement not as theme, but as method.
