Yinka Shonibare's 2016 installation "RA FAMILY ALBUM" is a vibrant tapestry of color and imagery. The artwork utilizes traditional Dutch wax fabrics, a material Shonibare frequently incorporates in his work, to create a backdrop that visually contrasts with the black and white photographs of various individuals. This contrast is symbolic of the complexities of cultural identity and how individuals are often forced to navigate between different cultures.
