Yinka Shonibare


  • Born in Nigeria and lives in London.
  • "[U]ses painting, sculpture, photography, and film to show the challenges our nations in cultural identity" (Art 21, PBS).
  • http://www.yinkashonibarembe.com/articles.html (see article from Museum of Art in 2003 for a interesting article about a strong artwork of political means, "Scramble of Africa"
  • I think is artwork is a good example of social justice because of his awareness of cultural identity and wanting to bring these issues to the common people.
