CMA: Royal Timeline

~ David Achodo

Timeline of the various, earliest kings of Dahomey and Oyo, in West Africa.

Rather than staging both kingdoms as units of contrast, CMA accentuates the cultural perpetuity, iterative memories, and interpretations of the people of both languages. This cultural exhibition is designed to amplify the digital visibility of the identities and royal narratives of both cultures for external audiences.
