A show of all the curtains made by Marina Xenofontos from 2000 to 2022. Carousel was jointly conceived and realized by Xenofontos and curator Maya Tounta and was presented in AKWA IBOM.
Due to the nature of the show which requires ample daylight the exhibition was open to visit between noon and four for the whole duration of the show.
