What does it feel like to finally be heard after being shut down for so long? Or even after finally being able to stand up to a bully? We answer these questions and more through hope in the form of a hot air balloon lifting off after being trapped and silenced for long. In the piece we lift off to brighter suns, and leave behind monsters that turn off our voices, chanting in strength; we enjoy freedom.

Paradise Found

We live in a world that is challenging to navigate and can be more difficult for people living with disabilities. Our long-standing ableist system has made it difficult for some to socialise, gain employment and access healthcare How can we foster an environment that bridges the gap and enables people living with disabilities equal access and opportunities to able-bodied counterparts?

Wan Mba Tsav

Here we celebrate the culture of African spirituality, particularly exalting themes from the Tiv tribe in Nigeria. Worship in all its varieties can be seen as a way in which we raise our voices. In times of trouble, victory, sorrow, joy, need, regardless of the faith in practice, it is woven tightly into our culture to ‘look up' to our deities for guidance. This can be done with music, dance and prayer. This NFT is 2/6 for the Voice NFT Residency collection and includes exclusive bonus content

Metamorphosis

We inhabit many forms throughout our lives. Some years we are strong and others, we are lost. Change and growth are inevitable and so, raising one's voice, after being silenced for so long, can feel like a transformative experience. In this piece, we represent the feeling of shedding old skin and morphing into new and improved versions of ourselves.

Illustrato

This piece focuses on the journey to the point where we feel like it is time to raise their voice. Taking the time to analyse experiences through a kaleidoscope, which can help visualise situations from various perspectives. We discover nuances that may have been neglected prior. We leaned on the divinity of creatures beyond ourselves to offer and represent our newfound perspectives. This NFT is 3/6 for the Voice NFT Residency collection and includes exclusive bonus content.

Who Gave the Order

'Who Gave the Order' focuses on the gruesome attacks on the 20th of October 2020 at the Lekki Toll Gate orchestrated by security forces during the ENDSARS protests. Amidst this chaos, we show the emergence of something symbolic; mutiny on the rise and persistence on remembrance. It is in our silence and acceptance of violence that we forget our rights, and so we choose to remember, raise our voices.
