Coumba Samba: Stars and Stripes is on view at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, United States, until January 18, 2027.
This exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art presents installations by Coumba Samba that investigate how global politics, military power, and resource extraction intersect. Featuring sculptures inspired by depleted uranium shells painted in national flag motifs, the artist uses modernist abstract forms to highlight colonial exploitation, environmental damage, and the ongoing legacy of the nuclear industry in African nations.
