This monograph explores the work of multidisciplinary Nigerian artist Victor Ehikhamenor, and its themes of identity, globalisation, migration, cultural heritage, and African postcolonial identities.

The book focuses on Ehikhamenor’s most recent work and examines key aspects of his practice - rosaries, perforations, installations, paintings, drawings, collage, and sculpture - to show how he fuses tradition with contemporary expression to create complex portraits of African peoples and African spaces.
