In Abstracto,
In Concreto
On Memory and Presence — a group exhibition in four chambers.
Curated by Brice Arsène Yonkeu and held across the ground floor of Warehouse 61, the exhibition assembles four practices that hold abstraction and the concrete in tension — Luke Agada, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Ludovic Nkoth and Naïla Opiangah.

About Efie Gallery
A two-storey home for African contemporary art, on Alserkal Avenue.

The founders
The Mintah family.
Valentina Mintah and her sons Kwame and Kobi opened Efie Gallery's first space in Al Quoz in March 2022 and relocated to Warehouse 61 on Alserkal Avenue in April 2025. The family had been collecting modern and contemporary African art for many years before opening to the public.
Kwame and Kobi Mintah were named in The Apollo 40 — the magazine's annual list — in the 2026 business category.
Warehouse 61 · Alserkal Avenue
The space
Warehouse 61, designed with Suhaira Yousif.
The Alserkal flagship is a two-storey, approximately 410-square-metre (4,400 sq ft) venue, designed in collaboration with Dubai architect Suhaira Yousif. The ground-floor gallery offers around 1,500 sq ft of column-free hanging with roughly 30-foot ceilings — built for large-scale works.
Beneath the gallery sits Rekord Gallery — a hi-fi listening room reached by a trap door, anchored by the founders' record collection.
