Stake attention in this memory
Six large, vertical canvases featuring portraits of dark-skinned individuals are displayed outdoors, leaning against a concrete wall in Ado, Nigeria. Each canvas has a solid yellow-ochre background. The depicted figures, primarily male, are shirtless, adorned with white facial and body paint, shell necklaces, armbands, and dark, curly hair accented with feathers. One prominent figure on the far right holds a large bunch of green leafy plants in both hands and wears an orange patterned waist wrap. Another figure also holds green leafy plants, while a third holds a single green sprig. Further left, two figures interact with birds: one has an eagle-like bird perched on its head/shoulder, and another features two white birds. Some canvases exhibit faint pencil underdrawings. The canvases rest on a grey interlocking paver surface, which is partially covered with dirt patches and sparse weeds. Behind the canvases is a light green two-story building with multiple windows, some reflecting surrounding structures. An air conditioning unit is installed below one window. A concrete barrier topped with multiple strands of barbed wire runs along the building above the paintings, with electrical wires strung along its surface. A dark grey tiled roof of an adjacent building and a light blue corrugated metal roof section are visible in the background. The scene is illuminated by daylight.
