The New Pantheon is a series of thirteen wall installations, which creates an assembly of new syncretistic and hybrid divinities for our time. The pagan and Christian pantheons reproduce the human binary gender division that the artist challenges with the creation of a new set of divinities and a new iconography for each divinity. It is an Afrobaroque project, rooted in the vision and practice of Afrofuturism, and a commentary on our human and post-human identity, and on the future of race and sexuality.
