"The American Library Collection (Writers)" is a 2017 work by British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare. The installation features a bookshelf filled with books covered in colorful and patterned fabrics, reminiscent of traditional African textiles known as Ankara. Shonibare's use of these fabrics references colonialism and its impact on African culture, while simultaneously celebrating the beauty and vibrancy of African traditions. This piece explores themes of identity, cultural exchange, and the power of visual representation.
