Ranti Bam reflects on Black Ifa at the Venice Biennale

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In an ART AFRICA interview with Suzette Bell-Roberts, Ranti Bam discusses the five Ifa Ile Oja – Black Ifa sculptures presented at the Arsenale in the 2026 Venice Biennale. She describes a physical, intuitive approach to clay, considering memory, vulnerability and spiritual connection. Rather than prescribing a single interpretation, Bam leaves viewers room to find their own relationships with the forms and their surroundings.
