Reflect on how long flights can think. Now think about how long and far ships had to travel, across seas, to take these cultural artifacts from their African homes to their current locations in museums across the western world.
This is a reflection on the turbulent and treacherous journeys they had to traverse in order to be where they currently are. Some, if not most of these artifacts, house spirits. From the traditional African perspective therefore, they are alive. Now ponder how rough the journey must have been for them moving across large oceans for months, and then later locked up in cages for centuries.
And in likewise manner, how many Africans, being so disconnected from their roots, take treacherous journeys to find life in other parts of the world, seeing little to no value in where they come from, and who they are.
The series is inspired by the thousands of African Cultural artifacts taken from the continent and currently held in museums around the world, away from its original owners. Most of these items hold immense cultural and spiritual value to us Africans, and is not just art. Most are physical mediums through which the indigenous African ancestors connected with the spirit realm, their ancestors and Gods. Removing these artifacts from their true homes disrupts these connections, causing immense spiritual, and consequent physical damage beyond imagination. It disconnects millions from themselves, their ancestors, their spirits, and God.
This is my ode and visual commentary on the destructive looting that has occurred across the continent for centuries. To shed light on the spiritual harm caused, by removing these artifacts from their rightful homes. These cultural, historical & spiritual items have been imprisoned for centuries, and it is time to set them free and return them home.
