At the Dak’Art 2014, sex and sexuality is a recurring theme highlighted by various artists both at the IN and OFF Exhibitions. The conversations are varied and while some are very subtle, there are few that are quite open.
None is however, as the eye catching installation depicting many erect penis surrounding what is clearly a woman. The inference is yours to make. What is your reading?
I actually think this work is more to do with increasing the chance of conception, the penis being offered in the hope of that by the owner. Female ndisi are known to have medicinal powers, potency and to be judicial. This is ndisi 21st century
The artist may well be Congolese.
I will certainly do that and that is some good insight.
