A London heist over art, ownership, and heritage

Set in Soho on the eve of the British Museum’s acquisition of Nigerian artist Adewale Balogun’s work, Bronze Faces turns a reunion among three childhood friends into a dispute over who has the right to hold cultural objects. Timi, Balogun’s child, has been invited to the museum event; Timi and friends Sango and Gbonka see the purchase as cultural theft and devise a plan to reclaim the artwork. The setup links an action-and-adventure heist with questions of heritage and institutional ownership. This paperback collects issues 1–6 of the series.

Book overview

Soho, London. Childhood friends Timi, Sango, and Gbonka reunite on the eve of the British Museum's historic purchase of the works of Timi's father, the seminal Nigerian artist Adewale Balogun.

 

Timi has been invited as a "guest of honor," but what the Museum is heralding as a triumphant acquisition, the trio see as nothing short of brazen cultural theft. Emboldened by a night of drinking and shared outrage, they concoct a bold scheme... to steal back the artwork themselves!

 

Celebrated authors Shobo & Shof (New Masters) draw from their Nigerian heritage for the heist of a lifetime, joined by acclaimed artist Alexandre Tefenkgi (Once Upon a Time at the End of the World, The Good Asian).
