Ekow Nimako s 2019 work “Kumbi Saleh 3020 CE” is the Toronto-based artist s most ambitious cityscape to date. Constructed from 100,000 sleek black LEGO pieces, the Afrofuturistic metropolis reimagines the capital city of the ancient Ghanaian empire.
Building on historical scholarship, cultural symbolism, and a long-standing love for LEGO, Nimako s 30-square-foot sculpture catapults the medieval city into the year 3020. Here, he imagines an “uncooped narrative of Black civilizations.” In his artist statement, Nimako explains that his work “seeks to reclaim histories, reconcile ancestral traumas and imagine liberated futures for all African peoples.” ....

Hundreds of thousands of sleek, black LEGO structure the utopic universes by Toronto-based artist Ekow Nimako. Ranging from life-sized figurative sculptures with an eccentric twist to sprawling landscapes mimicking dense metropolises, Nimako’s artworks are rooted in the visionary realm of Afrofuturism, which “explores the intersection of technology and race to visualize a powerful future for the African diaspora” through a hearty dose of hope and strength.
His ongoing series,
Building Black, is an expansive collection that encompasses fantastical masks inspired by West African tradition and mythological characters that draw on folklore and proverbs. Another facet includes a broad, architectural sculpture that expands 30-square-feet. The 2019 work is titled “Kumbi Saleh 3020 CE,” a reference to the capital city of the ancient Ghana Empire ....

Ghanaian-Canadian artist Ekow Nimako creates monumental works out of simple Lego bricks that celebrate black civilizations. The Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Canada has just acquired a creation comprising 100,000 black pieces!
In the 4th century, Koumbi Saleh was the flamboyant capital of the kingdom of Ghana. It was a trading town on the west coast, located along the road linking North Africa to sub-Saharan Africa, which is said to have served as a salt and gold depository. Koumbi Saleh was destroyed in 1240 by the Malian emperor Soundiata Keïta. Archaeological excavations undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century confirm that it was located in the south of present-day Mauritania. ....

Toronto museum acquires 100k-piece LEGO sculpture of futuristic African city

Although the museum has remained closed since November, the sculpture is set to go on display when Aga Khan reopens later this year.
Museum curator Michael Chagnon said that Nimako being a Toronto-based artist was absolutely critical to their decision to acquire the piece.
Since our opening in 2014, the Museum has been proud to serve as a cultural hub for our immediate neighbourhood and the GTA, Chagnon explained to blogTO. An important part of that work has been to collaborate with local artists and to highlight the global significance of their practices.
Ekow s sculptures, and particularly Kumbi Saleh, speak in a fundamental way to the question of identity and history, to the need for expanding dialogue across perceived cultural divisions, to the importance of listening intently one another. That sort of vision in turn helps us tell stories of global relevance. ....
