blog writing #missionary position ii

My visit at AGO Exhibition Center was great as I had an opportunity of seeing Missionary Position II by Sonia Boyce (1985). Upon keen observation of this art, I noted that it resembles the artist. From this, I presumed that the story is around a young person's response to authority. The title primarily illustrates how colonialism affected culture, particularly the horrible part played by British missionaries in the colonization of Africa and the Caribbean. Two vibrantly dressed women are seen in the picture in what looks to be a living room. With their head up and eyes closed, as if in prayer, one person sits on the floor (Life between islands: Caribbean-British art 1950s-now).
