Working with caps from liquor bottles, El Anatsui creates densely patterned sculptures that trace a broader narrative around colonial economic exchange and slave trade in Africa. "When the European traders came to Africa for the first time, drinks were exchanged for slaves, who were brought to America to grow more cotton and sugar cane to make more drink and then ship to Europe," says the artist in our "Change" episode.

Get immersed by this huge artwork by El Anatsui, made entirely out of bottle caps! This monumental art work is made from thousands of aluminum liquor caps. Each one is flattened and connected to others with copper wire. The wall sculpture folds across the heart of the Stedelijk, almost like a living organism. 🐛 Admire it at the Stedelijk while you still can! It's leaving the collection presentation after March 17.

These installations consist of thousands of aluminum pieces sourced from alcohol recycling stations and sewn together with copper wire, which are then transformed into metallic cloth-like wall sculptures. Such materials, while seemingly stiff and sturdy, are actually free and flexible, which often h
