Print of Art: A Dancing Aunty by Mary Lucas-Afolalu with RCA BLK on reverse

 

Colour: Mushroom

 

The piece portrays a “Dancing Aunty” as a powerful symbol of movement, memory, and heritage. Her full, confident body embodies ancestral rhythms, with swirling, tattoo-like markings that evoke African traditions and generational stories. Her dynamic pose expresses celebration, defiance, womanhood, and cultural pride, making her both a living artwork and an archive of joy and strength.

 

Mary Lucas-Afolalu is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work spans fashion, sculpture, and installation. She graduated from the RCA in an MA in Fashion in 2023 on the Sir Frank Bowling scholarship.
