Oluseye, Ploughing Liberty, 2021, recovered hockey sticks and antique farm tools sourced from the US, Nova Scotia, and Ontario

In ongoing series, “Demilade” (crown me in Yoruba), Oluseye weaves together the traditions of Yoruba masculinity and dominance while asserting and recentering Black women’s place and power in both contemporary and historical narratives of tradition and of rule.    Using found objects and women’s hair, Oluseye remakes traditionally male-centered emblems, emblazoning them at their core with symbols and epitaphs of past and present Black womanhood(s). Thus, we are invited and indeed forced to contemplate a world where women stand at the center, as equal partners with power of their own. A power unbounded by time or place.
