Since the 1990s, the British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE (*1962, London) has developed opulently executed sculptures and installations, colourful collages and theatrically staged photographs and films. To do so, he transforms episodes from art and history whose effects influence our present-day lives.
Yinka Shonibare CBE takes up the traces of colonialism and its consequences for role models, worldviews and body images in the works of Shonibare.
