Angelina Jolie Instagram – Yesterday, on February 8, @catharsisartsfoundation and @prune unveiled their collaborative project « Statues Also Breathe » at the @macaal_ museum in Marrakech.
The project is an “army of girls” honoring the young women from Chibok who were kidnapped from their high school in Northern Nigeria in 2014 — many of whom are still missing. These 108 portraits in clay, modeled after photographs of the missing girls entrusted to @prune by their mothers, are imaged in the style of iconic ancestral Ife heads.
A decade on, around 100 of Chibok girls are still missing. Survivors have faced immense challenges, and girls continue to be abducted amid ongoing conflict and displacement in Nigeria.
@catharsisartsfoundation collaborated with the families of Chibok, 108 students from across Nigeria and Obafemi-Awolowo University in Ile-Ife. Their goal is to sustain momentum around the missing girls—now women— and to highlight the global struggle for girls’ education, while they also provide concrete, on-the-ground support for the women who managed to escape.
