In what ways can Yinka Shonibare's Nelson's Ship in a Bottle be compared to Rashid Johnson's The Souls of Black Folk (Chapter 25)?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Shonibare's work takes the form of a traditional object created for display on a shelf (the ship in a bottle), the form and subject of Johnson's display cabinet.
2. Both works retell African colonial and postcolonial history through representational objects invested with multicultural significance.
3. The lives of both artists link directly to the historical subjects of the works, underscoring the significance of the past brought into the present through the generations.
