Benin artist Meschac Gaba pinpoints manufactured cultural hybridization, as one of the signs of capitalism run macroeconomics. Therefore, Gaba’s artworks correlate cultural forms to economics’ standard exchange items, i.e. money, industry – manufacture, trade, labour work; manifesting with irony and charm these trade-offs (between exchange of goods and human values) through the notions of cultural alteration, creolization of cultures.
