“the Marduk Prophesy” outdoor posterproject Cedar Lewisohn, 2021
curating / production for the exhibition “Vent the Tent / Lucht in de Tent”
The Marduk Prophecy is a limited edition riso-printed publication (created by London-based artist, writer and curator, Cedar Lewisohn) that takes the form of an image-led wordless comic book.
Produced from handmade woodcuts and lino prints, the work’s images are sourced from objects from ancient African and Mesopotamian civilisations in museum collections. These include treasures in the British Museum – whose Benin Bronzes were looted and whose ownership is contested – to those in the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Petrie Museum.
Blueprint posters were made of the imagery from the publication, to be pasted around the city in public space and on billboards
