MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
This Nigerian-born artist belongs to his country’s Ona movement, which reimagines Yoruba tradition in art and design: Lagunju paints Gelede masks and Adire fabric as he considers the effects of globalization and postcolonial hierarchies. By combining Western and Nigerian forms, Lagunju’s work comments on the divide between historical and canonical representations of African people.
