A visual symphony of Afrocentric identity, a series that interweaves tradition with modernity, spirituality with chaos, and beauty with historical reckoning.
This exhibition does not simply depict Afrocentric themes—it expands upon them, exploring the duality of past and present, ancestry and futurism. Through a mixed-media approach, these works embody the fluidity of time, using archival imagery, surreal compositions, and layered textures to create deeply immersive storytelling. Each collage serves as a portal into a world where African spirituality, colonial remnants, and contemporary existence coexist, challenging viewers to decode their own interpretations.
Domino's work is deeply personal yet universally resonant, paying homage to the vibrancy of African culture while embracing the unpredictability of creative expression. Every element, from the celestial symbols to the fragmented newspaper clippings, serves as a thread in a tapestry of both beauty and disruption.
Witness the evolution of Afrocentric visual language, where history, personal narrative, and artistic experimentation merge into an ongoing dialogue about identity, resilience, and cultural memory.
Curator Statement
“Afrocentric art has long been a vessel for storytelling, a space where history, culture, and spirituality intertwine. Domino pushes this tradition forward—melding the seen and the unseen, the remembered and the forgotten.”
"Itan" translates to "story" or "history" in Yoruba. Yoruba people are one of the largest and most culturally significant ethnic groups in West Africa. Yoruba culture is known for its vibrant and expressive arts, including sculpture, textiles, music, dance, and storytelling. Yoruba art has a strong emphasis on symbolism and spirituality and has influenced the broader African art world. Itan Foundation World isn’t just about displaying art, but also about telling the stories and histories of West African artists, their cultures and their creative journeys. Each artwork is selected for its ability to evoke a sense of storytelling and exploration.
