Name: The Scramble For Africa
SKU: 4576
Availability: InStock

“Africa is poor, but we can try and help its people”. It’s a simple statement, repeated through a thousand images, newspaper stories and charity appeals each year, so that it takes on the weight of truth. When we read it, we reinforce assumptions and stories about Africa that we’ve heard throughout our lives. We reconfirm our image of Africa. Try something different. “Africa is rich but we steal its wealth.”

I wanted to show the child as Africa pulled one way and the other by the West who have taken the riches from Africa for centuries and left the people of Africa to suffer and fight for the crumbs.

“The Scramble For Africa” is also available as a signed limited edition print, please see the “Racism and Colonialism” series on the limited edition print section of the website.
