Just as the artifacts long to be returned home. Likewise the traditional Africans long for them to be returned. Because most of these items are spirits, and the mediums through which they connect with their Gods and the spiritual realm as a way of life. They long for these broken connections to be repaired, so they can reunite, and dance with spirit.
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.
