ANTHONY VACCARELLO INVITES RACHEL SEIDU.
AS A CHILD, RACHEL SEIDU USED TO WRITE AND PAINT: AS AN ADULT, SHE IS AN ARTIST WHOSE WORK TELLS STORIES AS POWERFUL AS THOSE TOLD BY BOOKS. SHE DESCRIBES HERSELF AS A VISUAL STORYTELLER.
BORN IN NIGERIA, SHE MAKES HER COUNTRY’S ENVIRONMENT HER ARTISTIC LANDSCAPE. HER PHOTOGRAPHS TAKE VIEWERS ON AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY, BREAKING DOWN AND ERASING STEREOTYPES SURROUNDING AFRICAN CULTURE, GENDER, RACE AND SEXUALITY TO CREATE INTIMATE STORIES OF HER SUBJECTS, BOTH PRECISE AND REAL. PLAYING ON THE PERSONAL AND THE SYMBOLIC AS WELL AS ON THE INTIMATE AND SOCIAL LEVELS, HER ART IS A POWERFUL TOOL THAT QUESTIONS AND REWRITES OUR VISUAL HISTORY AND CONTRIBUTES TO CHANGING THE SOCIAL LANDSCAPE OF HER NATIVE NIGERIA.
