“I think that now that this [achievement] comes into the foreground, it means that it allows people to pay attention to the craft within the continent, not just the craft but also the intellect that it comes with. And for me, I think that's what is most exciting [...] I work with large groups of people to collect objects, things that we are all familiar with, things that we all share the memory of, but sometimes you don't really pay attention to it as something that is artistic. I'm interested in how we can put, we can resituate ourselves within that context, and then we can bring it into, like, the realm of art [...] We [Africans] share so much already. Before the transatlantic slave trade, through that till the current post-independent pan-Africanism. And I think it's very important for us to realize that at the end of the day, we all have a common mission, a common destiny. And how do we share that? I'm very much interested in how artists across the world can come together in order to be able to create spaces, knowledge systems, and forms that can sum up collectively that we can share, that can somehow create a common shared identity with us black people across the world, even in the diaspora,” the artist explained.
