Themaskhouse – Let’s Camp Out Under The Stars Shirt

 Tonia Nneji, Ji dé (Hold), 2020. Acrylic and oil on canvas. 48 x 48 inches. A blend of oil and acrylic on canvas, Nneji’s blue-hued figures give the paintings a palpable air of melancholy, offset only by vibrantly colored African fabrics that drape and fold around bodies, walls and furniture. The men and women keeping vigil and bearing witness in these bright vignettes shed light on the physical and emotional pain of women living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an often traumatic and shame-inducing medical condition. PCOS is an endocrine disorder that, according to a 2010 WHO estimate, affects up to 116 million women of reproductive age worldwide, but for which, surprisingly, many women remain undiagnosed. The symptoms of PCOS are varied, including increased body and facial hair, irregular menstruation, subfertility, and hormonal imbalances. Nneji, a 28-year-old Lagos-based artist, was diagnosed with PCOS in 2014, at the age of 22. Her art reflects the pain and isolation of the condition, and the helplessness and frustration women often feel with the limited treatment options available, including from nontraditional sources. Over the last six years, Nneji herself has sought help from both local and international hospitals, consulted with herbalists, and prayed with members of religious houses of worship.
