i am coming to your city soon!
chachakilla!
murals of figures & fabric in every major city in africa,
what is the chachakilla project?
In a bid to promote our sense of kinship and identity as a people, I will paint monumentally-sized homogenous murals spread across all 54 African countries.
​
To say: "I am a citizen", one must first learn to say: "I".
​
Individual identity is both cause and effect of culture. Culture, as we know it, is represented largely by visual imagery. So, by crafting an imagery for all Africans, irrespective of boundaries, we may unite an otherwise detached set of individuals, and forge a dignified identity. The Afrikanist Empire of Chachakilla is this identity, and the cultural imagery is that of Figures & Fabric.
​
Figures show identity, and Fabric holds memories.
​
I am starting with Ethiopia, the only country in history to have always remained independent. From Bole, in Addis Ababa, to Kigali, Nairobi, Abuja, and to the rest of Africa. Homogenizing independent minds, one stunning mural after another. Right in the centre of your city, inspiring glory, unity, and dynamism.
​
Each monument a bold painting of figure & fabric, as testament to the indefatigability of the human spirit.
As an Afrikanist heritage.
