In traditional African education, one is taught that there is more than what we see with our physical eyes. Yes, like western scientists are now discovering, there are multiple dimensions of existence. So vast the mind cannot hold them. It is these vast realms of spacetime, that the ancestors who created these artifacts had to traverse, to produce these spirit items of immense power and practical utility for individuals and communities at large.
With the help of the African ancestors, we are also on a journey to traverse these multiple dimensions of mindspace and time, to free our spirits out of prison, back into their natural African settings, where they belong.
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.
