It marks a departure from an explicit referencing of the two cultures, but it shares the exuberant decoration of the earlier works, with use of gold pigment and with the addition of collage elements. The subject matter here is political in a broad sense, addressing the issue of climate change which has implications for all of us. By including scraps of the <i>Financial Times</i> newspaper, and images of aircraft, Shonibare suggests that globalisation, the increasing interdependency of national economies, and the growth of air travel and trade (air-lifting flowers and vegetables from Africa to the UK, for example) are all parts of the bigger picture behind the manifestations of climate change.","physicalDescription":"Portrait format image with collage effect of aeroplanes, flowers, and fragments of the Financial Times newspaper.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Shonibare, Yinka","id":"A20592"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"card","id":"x30344"}],"techniques":[{"text":"colour lithography","id":"AAT190525"},{"text":"silkscreen","id":"x39213"},{"text":"collage","id":"AAT138699"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Four-colour lithograph with silkscreen glaze, collage with fabric and foils, on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"African Diaspora","id":"THES48873"},{"text":"Climate change","id":"THES271642"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2009CB6646"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"MB2F","shelf":"DR105","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"No","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"UK","id":"x29336"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2008","earliest":"2008-01-01","latest":"2008-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"500","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"340","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Yinka Shonibare 2008","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"signature and date"},{"content":"99/200","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"edition number"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Yinka Shonibare: Climate Shit Drawing 1, 2008.
