Kure Atoll is the most remote of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and the northern-most coral atoll in the world.
Kure is an oval-shaped atoll, which is 6 miles at its maximum diameter and 55 miles west-northwest of Midway Atoll at the extreme northwest end of the Hawaiian archipelago.
Kure Atoll was acquired by the United States of America as part of the Territory of Hawai‘i on July 7, 1898.
Nigerian painter Marcia Kure’s works — inspired by African cave paintings, woven and printed textiles, bodypainting and a background in which she was exposed to a wide variety of intra-Nigerian cultures and influences — often deal with issues of gender and identity.
Born in 1970 in Kano, Nigeria, Kure graduated with a B.A (painting) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1994.
Kure has attended art residency programs in Germany and the United States, where she has taken part in many solo and group exhibitions in addition to showing extensively in her home country.
