Malcolm X at Gorée Island

Oil, 24”x30” $2,000


In this imaginative and thought-provoking piece, Malcolm X stands at Gorée Island—a place he never visited in life. The artwork bridges history and possibility by placing him in this symbolic location, offering a powerful commentary on the connections between past and present struggles.

Gorée Island, with its Door of No Return, represents the beginning of unimaginable journeys for countless Africans forced into the transatlantic slave trade. By juxtaposing Malcolm X, a beacon of resistance and liberation, with this historical site, the piece invites viewers to reflect on the enduring fight for justice and the unbroken spirit of those who came before. This is art as storytelling, envisioning moments we’ll never see but must never forget.
