“Antelope” by Samson Kambalu, 2022
Fourth Plinth, Trafalgar Square
London, May 2023
“On 5 July 2021, it was announced that Kambalu's artwork had been selected as the next to occupy the Fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London from September 2022 until 2024. The sculpture, entitled Antelope, restages a 1914 photograph of Baptist preacher and pan-Africanist John Chilembwe and European missionary John Chorley. Chilembwe wears a hat in an act of defiance, as it was illegal at the time for an African to wear a hat in front of a white person.” (Samson Kambalu, Wikipedia)
