In April 2014, members of Boko Haram, a terrorist group, kidnapped 276 school girls from a government secondary school in Chibok, a town in Northern Nigeria. The girls were abducted because their captors believed that women should not be in school. In response to this, my poster is formatted like a yearbook page with the compiled photographs and names of most Chibok girls. Emphasizing on the idea that they and all Nigerian girls have a right to an education. Each portrait has a green and white color overlay to represent their Nigerian heritage.

The blank portrait at the bottom is left for the Chibok girls who are still missing or photographs have never been located. The message of the poster is clear: The government cannot be trusted to provide education to all. On the other hand, there is no sign that it would be willing to give this money. It is a testament to the governments failure to provide even the most basic education, yet it continues to refuse to fund basic public services. The poster is a statement of hope, but it is one that speaks of the failures of all of us to make ends meet. In the end, what we are seeing is a government that will not make ends meet, that will instead use every trick of the trade to make ends meet. The poster, the work, the images, and the poster all have a kind of grim effect, but they are ultimately inoffensive.The exhibition was divided into two parts. In the first room, the posters were arranged in the shape of a series of monochrome stripes. In the second room, the work was distributed among the posters, each with its own framed photo. These works were all executed in 2014, and all feature the same colors, the same monochrome stripes. The colors are the same as those on the posters and the work in the first room. But these stripes are not the same as the ones on the posters. They have been sanded down, and are no longer visible. One can see them only in the dark. The color scheme of the work in the second room is more familiar: a monochrome stripe pattern with a dark blue upper half, followed by a dark gray below. The vertical stripes and the horizontal lines are arranged in a different way. The vertical stripes are less precise, and the horizontals are more irregular. They are more painterly. The horizontal stripes are still there, but no longer as formalized grids. The results are, in a sense, more familiar: a clean, flat, geometric form. The colors are still there, but no longer as a rigid hierarchy.

The blank portrait at the bottom is left for the Chibok girls who are still missing or photographs have never been located. A picture of one of the girls who was abducted is next to one of the captives. The captor, identified as Walid Raad, is pictured in a suit and tie, sitting on a chair. He wears a white turban and a black moustache. He speaks English, but he speaks no English. The two captive girls are each framed by a greenish-yellow frame with a black border. The image of the abducted girl is overlaid with one of the captors, who is also a black man, his hands slightly clasped together. The two girls are on their knees, their hands in the air. The captor holds the captives wrists in his lap, as if he were asking them to sign a waiver. The captor appears to be posing for the photograph. He is wearing a white turban and a black moustache. He has the same long black coat as the captured girl. He is holding her hands above his head, but he looks as if he is about to leave the scene. He has his right hand over her mouth, as if hes about to yell. The captor, who is also a black man, holds the captured girl as if she were a prisoner. He holds her elbows in the air. She is covered with a blanket, like a prisoner in a prison. She is dressed in the same black as the captured girl, but she is dressed in a white turban and black moustache. She holds her right hand over her mouth, as if she were about to cry. The captor holds the captives right hand in a similar gesture. The gesture is repeated several times. The two captives look directly at the photographer, who is standing directly behind them. They both look at the photographer. They both look at the photographer. The captors have the same expression of shock on their faces as the captured girl. The photographer is standing behind the two captives, who are covered with blankets and a blanket.

The photograph is accompanied by a text written by the artist, who was also invited to participate in the performances and lectures. The text, which was printed in English and Japanese, was a response to the artist asking why Boko Haram is not killed or imprisoned. As the text explains, the group is the most sophisticated terrorist organization to have emerged in the postcolonial landscape. The text is an ironic statement about the failure of the Nigerian government to intervene in the problem of Boko Haram and its brutal form of racism. In the second part of the show, Bekanis face is covered with a white sheet and a black one, as if the two images were being used to erase the differences between the two groups. The use of black and white, and the emphasis on the other face, remind us that the Boko Haram insurgency is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a larger problem, one that affects more than just Nigeria.
