Nigerian artist Njideka Akunyili moved to the U.S. at 16 and quickly realized if she didn’t tell the story of her homeland other people would, often in ways that were offensive. Her images combine popular culture and reference traditional African textiles to create a story of a post-colonial country still tied to its past. Join us for a project exploring transfer techniques to create artwork inspired by Akunyili.
