Townshipwall No 611
Labelled as “Township Wall no. 10” in the catalogue
Antonio Ole's assemblage artwork reflects township life using recycled materials. The large-scale representation likely offers commentary on urban and rural dynamics within African communities, prompting contemplation about these societal aspects.

"Townshipwall No 611" by Antonio Ole is a significant artwork created in 2004. It was featured in the "Africa Remix" exhibitions from 2004 to 2007. The piece is an assemblage, measuring around 500x600 cm, and is composed of sheet metal, doors, and windows[[1](https://universes.art/en/specials/2010/who-knows-tomorrow/artists/antonio-ole/biography/zoom-1)][[2](http://www.universes-in-universe.de/specials/africa-remix/ole/english.htm)].The artwork has a deeper context and symbolism, particularly reflecting the urban dynamics of various global cities. Created during the Angolan civil war, "Townshipwall No 611" uses discarded materials to explore urban boundaries. It is a part of Antonio Ole's broader "Township Wall" series, which includes other installations like a 10-meter piece with about 100 parts, symbolizing the complexities of urban life. The inclusion of this work in the Ethnological Museum at Humboldt Forum highlights broader representation goals and the contemporary African art scene[[3](https://www.humboldtforum.org/en/township-wall/)].
