Yinka Shonibare Scramble for Africa

Description
2003. 14 life-size fiberglass mannequins, 14 chairs, table, and Dutch wax-printed cotton.

Wax-print fabric was the material of choice for Yinka Shonibare MBE.
Scramble for Africa shows an imagined scene of European heads of state during the Berlin Conference.

It appears as though the European men have been dressed in African fabric, but the fabric is actually European; authenticity is brought into question.
