Good Times II

Good Times II extends Mbayiwa’s dialogue between African experience and Western pop iconography. Referencing the Angry Birds aesthetic, he subverts its cartoon humour to mirror the frustrations and ironies of everyday life. Beneath the vivid colour and rhythmic energy lies a subtle critique of escapism—how imported images of joy often mask deeper social fatigue. Here, Mbayiwa balances satire with celebration, transforming the symbols of global entertainment into reflections of African spirit, creativity, and endurance.
