Look At Me (2018) in groupshow Searching for Oneself Outside at Nest, 26 januari – 24 maart, 2024
Bodil Ouédrago strives to unveil the unseen, designing a transparent trench coat adorned with a quote from writer James Baldwin (1924 - 1987). This piece underscores how white individuals have often ignored and denied racism, emphasizing that addressing the issue requires their active confrontation. Her wearable creations and sculptures function as artistic interventions, seamlessly transitioning from indoor spaces to outdoor settings. This allows individuals to exert influence over what is represented in streets, parks, or squares.
