Abstract
- The article discusses Ozioma Onuzulike's exhibition, "Strings the Length of Our Palm's Seal," at the ChertLüdde Gallery in Berlin, showcasing his textile works made from palm kernel shells and ceramic beads. Onuzulike, a professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, draws inspiration from the Nsukka Art School's Natural Synthesis ideology, influenced by El Anatsui. The exhibition features beaded dress imagery, such as the Extra-Large-Sized Jumper and Agbada, reflecting Nigerian clothing styles and social issues. Onuzulike's artistry explores the historical and cultural significance of palm kernel shells and clay beads, highlighting the complexities of African identity and political commentary.
