Me with pioneering Black supermodels Alva Chinn & Pat Cleveland last night at the dinner opening of Black Venus by Andrea Emelife ✨

“‘Black Venus’, curated by Aindrea Emelife & on view at Fotografiska New York, is a cross-generational survey of the Black female body. Through the work of 17 international artists, the show captures a complex past and reclaimed present.” ⁦Aindrea Emelife⁩ wallpaper.com/art/black-venu…

★★★★★ "If we are to move towards a truly decolonised art world then we must realise that it should not require an artist to fit neatly or repeatedly into a category. Exhibitions like this show us how" #InTheBlackFantastic @GuardianCulture [Aindrea Emelife] theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Because of my work with cities like Freetown, Accra, Dakar and soon Abidjan, I was especially taken by this piece by Aindrea Emelife on the West Africa art scene and its legacy of creativity👇 on.ft.com/3YJH7Tk She asks some very good questions:

"restitution is meaningless if it doesn’t catalyse and connect with the present and the future." Writing in Financial Times Aindrea Emelife considers the West African art scene & how the return of objects should mark the start, not the end, of a relationship. ow.ly/ffAL50NhJcE #beninbronzes
