(W) Shobo, Shof (A) Alexandre Tefenkgi (CA) Shof. 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! But when they come into possession of a document called "the Register*" outlining dozens of colonial-era stolen artifacts* their sights turn even higher to the Benin Bronzes - the British Museum's cache of nearly 1*500 works of art stolen from the Kingdom of Benin. Celebrated authors Shobo & Shof Coker (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). Prepare for a story that's at once an exhilarating adventure and simultaneously a breathtaking descent into mythology* history* and the horrors of colonialism* perfect for celebrating the start Black History Month.
