Ayo Akingbade has created a limited edition print exclusively for the Whitworth to accompany her exhibition Show Me The World Mister, 3 May – 20 October 2024.
Head of Idoani Girl, 2024, is a linear portrait of a fictional girl, inspired by Akingbade’s most recent film Faluyi, shot in Ondo State in Nigeria. Originally created as a risograph, the image has been subsequently enlarged and digitally printed to the scale of a poster. The deep blue tone of the print is inspired by the indigo-dyed adire textile prominent in Yoruba culture, and the title of the exhibition is written along the paper’s border like a fabric’s selvedge. The edition was made during the artist’s residency at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in 2024. Each edition is signed and numbered by the artist.
- 55.43 cm x 42 cm.
- Edition of 20 (10 artist’s proofs).
- Hand numbered and signed by the artist.
- Digital print of an original risograph.
- Printed on 300gsm paper.
- Please contact us if you want to purchase this edition framed.

We use eco-packaging throughout the process and upcycle all materials where possible. The prints will be posted flat to keep as pristine as possible during transit, so. you can be reassured the item will arrive safely.
