Angelina Jolie Attends Marrakech Exhibition Honouring Chibok Schoolgirls

Angelina Jolie attended the opening of “Statues Also Breathe” at the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden in Marrakech, Morocco. The exhibition honours the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014, including those who are still missing. Chibok survivors Rahab Ibrahim and Margaret Yama, as well as family members, attended the event. The exhibition features 108 clay sculptures inspired by ancient Ife bronze heads and was created by French artist Prune Nourry with Nigerian musician and activist Ade Bantu. The project began after families entrusted photographs of their daughters to Nourry. Women potters in Ile-Ife then cast the sculptures using traditional clay techniques. After premiering in Lagos, the exhibition is touring internationally before its planned permanent display in an African museum. The work preserves the memories of the abducted girls and keeps attention on the continuing call for justice, remembrance and the return of those still unaccounted for.
