| Signage: | Mbaki's painting immerses us in the daily lives of Angolan banana farmers. Both men and women are depicted harvesting, illustrating Angola's significant role as a major global producer of this fruit. The faceless figures and bright colours evoke the everyday experience of a bountiful harvest. Mbaki captures the natural rhythm and communal spirit of this essential activity. |
