Kristof Dhont from Ghent University, Belgium, and Gordon Hodson of Brock University, Canada, eminent figures in the field, assert a definitive, causal connection between low intelligence and prejudice, including racism.

Their research underscores the correlation between cognitive abilities and biased attitudes.

"Ignorance" C-Type Print, endeavours to explore these conclusions using vivid text, colour, and syntax. Childlike hues juxtapose violent language, evoking a disconcerting yet darkly humorous tone.

Buki Koshoni, the artist, aims to provoke both humour and discomfort in viewers. The artwork a series of conflicting opportunities, the stark reality of abhorrent language forcing sober introspection amidst childlike aesthetics.
