"For Southern Kaduna" is about violence to bodies, land, the natural environment, the feminine, global warming, fragmentation, displacement and forced migration from ancestral lands. It draws on my experiences living and working in Africa, Europe and America.
"My aim with drawing is to free it from its two-dimensional constraints and rethink technique, language and concept of drawing. I do not only think of drawing as something you put on paper. Drawing can be immersive, performative and experiential. It could be virtual traces of bodies displaced as a part of a network. Drawing is dragging your feet across sand or snow, the contrails of an airplane, a journey, a walk, a gesturing on paper or in the landscape." — Marcia Kure
