Zainab Sumu Primitive Modern combines the indigenous and avant-garde to showcase the diverse cultural wealth of North and West Africa. 

Each year, Zainab chooses a country of inspiration in North or West Africa and a theme. She creates artwork based on the theme and the country's unique culture. 

Inspired by a love of textiles, architecture, music, dance and travel, Zainab creates work that reflects a point of view where modernity and elegant imperfections collide.
