Product of Colonization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798875406010)

"Product of Colonization" presents a compelling exploration of the complex, layered identities shaped by the legacy of colonization. Through fifteen unique masks, artist Uzoma Obasi delves into themes of identity, resilience, ambition, creativity, and connection. Each mask represents a distinct archetype of the human experience, celebrating both the strength and vulnerability required to navigate a world defined by dualities. From "The Assimilator" to "The Philosopher," each chapter examines why these masks exist, the societal challenges they encounter, and how they empower individuals in everyday life. Inspired by ancestral roots and modern perspectives, Obasi's reflections offer both personal and universal insights, inviting readers to find pieces of themselves in each story. This book appeals to art collectors, thinkers, and those interested in identity, encouraging readers to look inward, challenge conventions, and join in a conversation about who we are and who we have the potential to become. Product of Colonization is more than a book; it's a call to embrace the many dimensions of heritage and redefine what it means to live authentically in today's world.
