Spiralic Temporality

Re-centering of Igbo knowledge as a complete and self-sustaining framework

“This painting presents a vision of renewed cultural sovereignty. The four market days are portrayed as women performing a round dance, moving together in balance. Curved linework, circles, and polka dots repeat throughout the composition to place emphasis on cyclical understandings of time within Igbo culture.”
