This month we meet artists Whak and Mo, a duo born and raised in Nigeria and currently based in Hamilton.
They were curated by Ruth Masuka of the AGO Youth Advisory. “Whak & Mo’s work simultaneously deconstructs tired narratives of race, gender, and migration while depicting dynamic, exciting futures. Blurring the lines between art and artist, their work leaves one with more questions than answers: How does one negotiate their identity within the context we find ourselves in? What exists in the grey zones between the black-and-white binaries we are forced in? How do we place cultural production into the hands of entire communities rather than a powerful few?”
