Counter narrative of President Buhari’s narrative on Nigerian youths with visual images and texts on Facebook
This paper interrogates the visual images and texts Nigerians posted on social media – Facebook as a counter-narrative to President Buhari’s narrative that ‘we have a very young population, a lot of them have not been to school, and they are claiming they should sit and do nothing but get housing, health care, and education free’. The narrative of Muhammadu Buhari was interpreted by Nigerians as suggesting that the youths are lazy. This attracted…

Intersecting identities
This paper interrogates the identities in the representations of women adorned in African cultural dress forms in contemporary Nigerian paintings. While many studies have explored the subject of African dress forms from other viewpoints, not many are known to investigate the topic from the perspective of contemporary Nigerian paintings. It is for this reason I purposively selected five paintings from different artists in which they represented wo…
African Vernacular-rooted Imagery in Yemi Ikisakin's Stone Sculptures
This article presents a critical analysis of the African vernacular-rooted imagery represented in Yemi Ijisakin's stone sculptures produced between the years 2006 and 2016. The focus on this period is to study the kinds of imagery he represents when there is a global artistic shift to installation and conceptual art. In doing this, I argue that even though Ijisakin's stone sculptures are deemed vernacular art, they are not indigenous or historica…
Decolonising African vernacular rooted sculptures of selected contemporary Nigerian and South African artists
I am interested in a decolonial reading of African vernacular rooted sculptures of selected contemporary South African and Nigerian artists and compares them. Although vernacular arts were produced in indigenous or traditional African arts context, there are still several forms of vernacular art practices jostling for space with canonical modes in contemporary art in various African contexts. However, I argue that the contemporary representations…
Vernacular images of childhood in the work of Lebohang Sithole
This visual essay presents a critical analysis of paintings by the South African artist, Lebohang Sithole, and focuses on those paintings drawn from his memory of childhood and the past. The predominant theme, a young African child, is examined as vernacular imagery. He uses the motif of the African child to reflect on different, often painful, experiences he had growing up in rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Selected paintings were an…
