A limited edition fine art print from Flight, the debut collection of Edinburgh-based artist, writer, and theologian Theodora Songhai.
Each print is produced on Hahnemühle Agave 290gsm - a textured, eco-friendly fine art paper made from agave plant fibres, chosen for the way its surface echoes the layered, tactile quality of Songhai's original collages. Prints are bordered, mounted, and wrapped in biodegradable packaging.
Every print includes an Art Sure Certificate of Authenticity from The Fine Art Trade Guild, an embossed studio stamp, and is hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Edition size: 50.
These works were made in 2022–2023 during a period of homelessness in London - with scissors, glue, and magazines, on a futon, in a friend's study. They are small in scale by design: a deliberate political statement about who gets to make art, and under what conditions.
Shipping: Ships from London. UK delivery only at this time.
Forerunners in the Wilderness — Songhai took the icon of John the Baptist and mapped her own body and experience onto it. The Ethiopian cross is a reminder that the Christian heritage is ancient, African, and hers by right — it predates European colonisation. The adire fabric is Nigerian. The baobab tree is African. The African mask replaces the Western face. This is not borrowing. This is reclamation.
