Statement:
In this series inspired by Marcus Garvey’s book, “Message to the People: The Course of African Philosophy,” I draw upon the concept of conversation as a vital nourishment for the mind. This series delves into the connections between conversation and human life, initiating discussions around ongoing dialogues in contemporary African societies and how they empower us as Africans to make a statement to the world.
I have experimented with a diverse range of materials in this series, including posters, vinyl billboards, books, fresh and old paper, and cardboard, coarse and shiny plastic, fabric, netting, sheets of metal, and panes of glass. These materials are widely used in advertisements throughout the country.
Conceptually, they form a language employed by politicians, businesspeople, and religious institutions to disseminate various forms of information to society. By acknowledging the power of this language, I have used it in creating my personal symbols of resistance while metaphorically provoking the aforementioned conversation.
