Through his work Dotun Popoola celebrates the beauty of Blackness while protesting “environmental decadence.”
Celebrating the beauty of Blackness and protesting “environmental decadence” for a cleaner, waste-free future: that’s the vision of award-winning Nigerian metal sculptor and visual artist Dotun Popoola. Popoola has carved a niche for himself by transforming scrap metal into colorful sculptures of animals and people, which tackle issues including waste management and the importance of recycling.
” The sculpture is being shipped to the museum in time for its Juneteenth concert, featuring jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, and others, where it will be unveiled in the 17-acre Freedom Monument Sculpture Park as a celebration of Black courage and resilience.
