Yinka Shonibare

Yinka Shonibare is a Biritish-Nigerian Artist living in London. He works in photography, painting, sculpture, installation, performances and other media. His work strives to contextualize Colonization, race, and class. He uses pattern and recognizable colonial garb as symbology to visual homogenize these themes. I have not come to a thourough understanding of his work but I am interested in the way he works in relation diaspora.
