Identity Beyond Accessories by Boris Anje
Description
"The White Minority" is a painting that delves into the quest for social equality, set against a bluish atmosphere enriched with cloudy brands and Adinkra symbols from the Akan of Ghana and the Ivory Coast. These symbols, which convey deep philosophical beliefs and cultural values, emphasize the universality of gender equality across different origins and racial boundaries. This artwork advocates for the elevation of the female gender, positioning it firmly within a sphere of equal standing and recognition.
