shonibare is an absolutely fantastic disabled british-nigerian artist who combines african textiles with european colonial fashion and props to specifically question and critique the eurocentric history of african exploitation, and the way european wealth was extracted from african people and land. tumblr hates reblogs with links but i highly encourage everyone to look up his wikipedia and personal website. ive seen some of his pieces in galleries and they’re life sized, gorgeous, and incredibly haunting.

2004, Scramble For Africa

No one is supposed to enjoy February. You’re not even supposed to think about it. It’s a practice in stoicism. mind your own business and just let it pass. Lock your doors and windows. Speak in quiet tones
