Historical amnesia

Pyrrho

This artwork is a reflection on chapters of human history that are purposely forgotten or covered up. Some genocides, especially those perpetrated by Western colonisers, are often dismissed or failed to be acknowledged. The text MAU MAU, which refers to a rebellion against British colonisers in Kenya that was brutally suppressed, will slowly disintegrate and become illegible in the next few months. This piece's languid pace also contrasts the hegemonic fast-food consumeristic art. bit.ly/3nGyqZ2
