I love these documentaries. Please, keep it up, they are very original, interesting and educational! Great work.
I became a Yinka fan today!
One of my favorite artists. I love his work!
I had spent so much time in Hackney. I wish I had known about him back then :( ❤
Amazing! This chanel has had me awake all night.
His work is incredible
Great man.
Beautiful work and inspiring artist.
THE IDEA OF USING TRADITIONAL CLOTHING AND ALTERNATIVE FABRIC IS NOT NEW.. BUT HE DOES IT WITH SUCH GREAT STYLE.. FAB STUFF..
Only someone who is not familiar with their actual family line and the human family would think his adaptation is contemporary when the entire human race is related. He actually gets it.

Defying the stereotype that people associate with Nigeria
JUST BEING CREATIVE AND NOT PUSHING THE SICK AND SATANIC LIBERAL LEFT AGENDA.. THOUGH THE SCUMY TALKING HEADS TRY TO..
William Morris??? The man was an elitist whose work supported colonialism.
I think Mr. Shonibare needs to delve more into Morris’ history.
no
With so many memories of a colonial past in Britain, he should leave.
This series is so cliche and programmatic. A kind of intellectual light of art. No real thinking. Just platitudes and recycled ideas that have been going around the art world for 30 years. Do something different. Step up to the plate.
The only thing don’t like about is that the many headless manikins. One can’t help but be reminded of ISIS beheading rage and does it becomes the fashion too?
but that's a great thing !
What a weird place to go 🤔. Doesn't seem like you get the work. Interesting that you didn't think of the French guillotine or the British history of punishment punishment by beheading. I wonder why? Maybe don't be so easily lead by the aggressive narrative of outlets like Fox News.
