Yinka Shonibare’s Scramble for Africa: The Subversive Storytelling of Costumes

This video essay explores the ways in which aesthetic sculptural and costuming choices in Yinka Shonibare’s installation, Scramble for Africa, fills the gaps of a colonially controlled history.
Created by Izzy Kramer, for Professor Phyllis Jackson’s course, “(Re)Presenting Africa: Art, Theory, History, Film, & Video,” taught at Pomona College in the fall 2021 semester.
