The exhibition explores decolonising historical tropes related to Black people, celebrating the richness of Nigerian heritage.
Works from Reclamation of the Exposition highlight the commodification and fetishisation of Black women's bodies in ethnographic expositions from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Adekunle subverts the dehumanizing portrayal of Black bodies by incorporating fabric from Nigeria and botanical elements in her photography.
Reclamation of the Exposition series draws inspiration from colonial and ethnographic photography, aiming to give identity and context to the unnamed and misrepresented individuals.
