The Conjurer and the Oracle by MASUD OLUFANI Image: The cast African yams reinterpreted as heads in this work reference the mystical capacity of food to serve as a conduit for ancestral knowledge and memory. The collars are reproductions of slavery punishment apparatus, reappropriated here to emphasize the limitations of the physical to arrest and subdue the metaphysical.
