Das Fremdlinge und Flüchtlinge Monument. 2017
[Monument for strangers and refugees]
Concrete, 3 x 3 x 16.3 m
Das Fremdlinge und Flüchtlinge Monument takes its cue from Oguibe’s experiences as a child who survived the Biafra War, which claimed the lives of some two million civilians in just thirty months. It is a repudiation of the anti-immigrant bigotry that certain world leaders and their followers have been fanning around the world lately, and an acknowledgment of the life-saving hospitality and refuge which others have offered to counter this bigotry. The work evokes and materializes the current crisis of humanity, and is a call for action.
