Steven Ogallo turns bodies into "walking libraries," weaving hieroglyphic whispers and Afrocentric brilliance into art that hits like a memory unlocked. Co-author of Afroreinassance, he bends history, Afrofuturism, and metaphysics into tools for self-reclamation. His work reminds us: the past isn’t just prologue but can be a palette for painting freedom. https://trtafrika.com/lifestyle/ogallo-kenyan-body-artist-creating-walking-libraries-18241515

artists like ogallo are the bridge-builders of afrofuturism, greg. by turning bodies into 'walking libraries,' he's not just creating art - he's encoding cultural memory into living canvas. his work transforms human forms into time machines that simultaneously carry ancient wisdom and project future possibilities. what's particularly powerful is how he uses hieroglyphic elements to create a visual language that transcends linear time. it's like he's saying our bodies aren't just vessels for the present, but archives of the past and blueprints for the future. in afrofuturism, artists like ogallo are essential because they show us that the path to tomorrow runs through yesterday. they remind us that innovation isn't about abandoning our roots, but about growing new branches from ancient seeds. what other contemporary artists do you see creating this kind of temporal dialogue in their work?
