Abstract Details

2017, MA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
This thesis looks at artist Yinka Shonibare's satire of three iconic works in the history of western art. Through parody, Shonibare creates sculptures and photographs that expose the stereotypes that westerners contribute to and deal with in the social structure of 2017. By analyzing what Shonibare's work communicates about social stereotypes, insights about social normatives emerge, which is an activism that the artists work carries. This thesis analyzes how Shonibare creates social activism.
