“My figures don’t have any kind of facial features that would make you identify them racially. Scramble for Africa is based on a conference that was held in Berlin in 1884 to 1885. The European countries came together to divide up Africa—to decide who would have which trading area. And so I re-imagined it with these brainless men sitting around the table, literally brainless.”
