Informed by his research on the National Museum of Scotland's African collections, 'Okolo' by Scottish-Nigerian artist and printmaker Nkem Okwechime looks at the intersection of European and West African identity. Using printmaking as both memory and method, he reconstructs ancestral figures through shifting palettes, papers, and prints. In his hands, the deities become portals reshaped by distance, migration, and the act of remembering across borders.
