Marker on Mixed Media Paper (2019) Ashawo is a derogatory term used in Nigeria & Ghana meaning "whore". This piece illustrates the fact that the name is largely used to shame & police all women, regardless of their look, appearance or demeanor . The term "ashawo" is a name reserved for every woman.
