Identity
Exploring how people understand themselves, their communities and the places they come from.
Explore selected exhibitions, public presentations and creative work by Mfikela Jean Samuel across culture, identity, heritage and shared history.
For Mfikela, exhibition is not only about displaying an artwork. It is an opportunity to begin a conversation.
A painting, map, symbol or image can invite people to reflect on identity, history, memory and the connections between communities.
Exhibitions therefore become part of a wider creative practice that brings together art, education and participation.
Mfikela's creative work often brings together visual storytelling, historical reflection and cultural memory.
Rather than giving viewers a single answer, the work encourages questions about what has been remembered, what has been overlooked and how communities understand their shared histories.
