Whitney Museum of American Art presents Coumba Samba: Stars and Stripes in its free Floor 1 lobby gallery at 99 Gansevoort Street, Manhattan, September 19, 2026–January 18, 2027. The installation pairs bold modernist geometry and national-flag colors with sculptural forms modeled on depleted-uranium shells to examine resource extraction, colonial power, and nuclear systems. Organized by Rujeko Hockley with Antonia Pocock. Museum hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday 10:30 a.m.–6 p.m.; Friday 10:30 a.m.–10 p.m.; closed Tuesday.
