Gloria
Ojulari Sule
Gloria Ojulari Sule travelled
to the Dak'Art Biennale in 2006 ; this trip was an important journey
for Ojulari Sule as an artist trying to locate her own practice
within national and global contemporary art networks.
In Dakar Ojulari Sule became fascinated
with the traditional African costume as an art form itself. Intrigued
and inspired by the special qualities and pride revealed by the
wearer of Senegalese dress and interpreting this pride as personification
of true cultural identity Ojulari Sule embarked on a mission to
engage in the everyday activity of having a traditional costume
made. Filmed in Dakar and Bristol HLM Costume documents
an experience of a woman following her vision to immerse herself
in the local culture and engage with the city as someone on a home
coming.
