Notes : "George Afedzi Hughes' work uses the history of colonialism as a basis to highlight parallels between colonialism’s brutal history and contemporary global conflicts. [...] His work interprets the spectacle of news, history and social engagement into visual form, by appropriating imagery from global popular culture such as sports and ritual. Hughes revisits the harsh realities of colonialism through metaphor" (from the artist's statement).
