Ruth Agbolade’s sculpture, crafted from discarded plastics and paper pulp, is a powerful statement on sustainability, cultural identity, and storytelling. This piece, exhibited at the Bradford African Festival of Art 2024, embodies her commitment to upcycling while exploring African heritage. The surface of the sculpture is adorned with Adinkra symbols, each carrying profound meanings rooted in wisdom, resilience, and unity. These symbols, accompanied by African proverbs, invite viewers to engage in a dialogue about tradition, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of humanity. Through this work, Agbolade bridges the past and present, transforming discarded materials into a vessel of cultural preservation and renewal.
