About the Item
Pursuing dreams beyond borders is a journey fraught with complexities and challenges, yet it also offers profound opportunities for growth and transformation. "Finding Solace in Foreign Soil" series delves deeply into these intricacies, capturing the delicate interplay of migration and the transient beauty of cultural exchanges. Through my work, I aim to illuminate the evolving narratives of displaced identities, offering a visual dialogue that resonates with the shared experiences of many.
Finding Solace in Foreign Soil Series, in particular, poignantly reflects on the stories of Africans who have escaped the perilous fate of being sold, encapsulated in the evocative phonetic term "Migration." It is a tribute to their resilience and an exploration of how these journeys are etched into our collective memory. By depicting these narratives through my art, I seek to foster a greater understanding and empathy for the experiences of those who navigate the complexities of migration.
Also, my work aspires to bridge the gap between diverse cultures and histories, celebrating the beauty and strength found in these exchanges. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit and a reminder that, despite the challenges, the pursuit of dreams beyond borders can lead to the creation of new, vibrant identities and communities. Through this visual dialogue, I invite viewers to reflect on their connections to these themes and to appreciate the rich tapestry of stories that migration weaves into our world.

Fela’s Demonstration Of Craze: Nothing has changed since Nigerian Afrobeat music pioneer, Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, known professionally as Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or simply Fela, gave his own epic and hilarious breakdown of Democracy [1980]. As Nigerians all over the world remember and celebrate Democracy Day on June 12, yearly.
Fela described Democracy as simply Demonstration of Craze. Looking at it critically, it makes all the sense that there is to be derived from the word. Nigerians have not only been crying from time immemorial, it is not a different scenario today as the same hands are still running the cabal. Nothing has changed, despite the ‘change’ mantrum.
Here’s what he said, “Now I mentioned Democracy. In English, an English man...
