Mikael Owunna co-founded the nonprofit Rainbow Serpent and developed the public art installation, The Four World Ages, showcased on approximately 100 digital kiosks and billboards across Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; and Pittsburgh, PA. This project was organized in partnership with Orange Barrel Media.
The Four World Ages draws on Nigerian-Igbo myth to tell the history of humanity as it unfolds through four eras: the Age of Universal Oneness, the Age of Self-Awareness, the Age of Light, and our current Age of Suffering. This piece features four dancers adorned with body paint as they enact this sweeping saga and also manifests as a Rainbow Serpent multimedia production by the same name.
