Seeing Red (II): Walking Gold into Red on a Piece of ‘God’s Own Country is a participatory performance that the artist re-enacted for the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. In this piece Akoi-Jackson walked through the streets of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry in the idealized attire of an Asante Chief. Wrapped in Kente cloth, he painted his body gold and wore head accessories similar to those that Akan chiefs wear during important rituals. He also had a headband in which cowry shells were strung together with cheap imitations of Victorian coins. Although alluding to the costume of an Akan chief, what was strikingly different was the manner in which Akoi-Jackson wrapped his Kente as a short skirt, underneath which he wore another textile that was an imitation of Dutch wax print or “Holland” as it is called in Ghana (and so similar to the fabrics that Yinka Shonibare deploys in his installation pieces, as mentioned above). In his hand Akoi-Jackson carried a mirror and a bottle of schnapps. His costume and accessories referenced aspects of colonial trade history and slavery in the Gold Coast that he and his audiences found apposite in India.
