Through this exhibition of images, artist Mikael Owunna explores this transfigured vision of the Black body in relationship with West African spiritual and cosmological systems. Each image references divine principles that connect Black bodies of the present across space and time to ancestral conceptions of the universe.
Mikael Owunna is a queer Nigerian-Swedish American multi-media artist and engineer based in Pittsburgh. Exploring the intersections of visual media with engineering, optics, Blackness and African cosmologies, his work seeks to elucidate an emancipatory vision of possibility that pushes Black people beyond all boundaries, restrictions and frontiers.
