Notes
“In many ways [Lilanga’s] sculptures and paintings follow Makonde conventions. His playful figures are best understood as heirs to the shetani, the unruly spirits of Makonde cosmology. Similarly, the complexity of his paintings can be compared to the Makonde ujamaa (tree of life), which signifies unity and solidarity. At the same time, the vibrant inventiveness of Lilanga’s work also testifies to the profound revolution that marked the birth of individualization and personal talent in Africa."1
