Zeitz MOCAA welcomes a new, site-specific commission by Ghanaian-American artist Rita Mawuena Benissan.

The Procession is a large-scale cylindrical tapestry by Ghanaian-American artist Rita Mawuena Benissan that creates a space for gathering and celebration. Both ethereal and monumental, its presence forms an elegant halo that responds to the atmosphere of the Atrium. Benissan's artistic practice is rooted in the cultural traditions of Ghanaian royalty, where public processions honour chiefs and traditional leaders. The tapestry embodies the essence of this tradition through its vivid use of colour, depictions of community, and motifs of seagulls and palm fronds that span the full height of the Atrium.
