Original artwork description
By placing the traditional headdress of the founder of the ‘Temne’ tribe, of which my family have been affiliated to, I seek to elevate the often undermined female Sierra Leonean figure.
Outdated stereotypical gender roles are often adhered to in Islamic West African cultures. This work creates a new found matriarchal paradigm with this re-presentation of power.
Materials used:
biro pen/ballpoint pen and pages from authentic Sierra Leone textbook.
Details:
- Ink drawing on Paper
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 31 x 22 x 1cm (framed) / 29.7 x 21cm (actual image size)
