A New Chapter for Zeitz MOCAA
Elvira Dyangani Ose is named artistic director of the Cape Town museum, following in the late Koyo Kouoh’s footsteps.
Elvira Dyangani Ose has been appointed as the new artistic director of Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town, South Africa. This marks a new chapter for the institution, following the sudden death of its previous artistic director, Koyo Kouoh, in May 2025. Ose, a Spanish curator known for her expertise in modern and contemporary African art, will begin her tenure in the fall.
She expressed her intention to travel to various African cities, including Johannesburg, Accra, Kumasi, and Nairobi, to meet with artists and gain a deeper understanding of their works.
