This study explores how the practice of headloading in Nigeria signifies subaltern voices. Through an interpretive analysis of images and representations from sources like Facebook and art catalogues, the study examines the social, economic, and political dimensions of headloading within the framework of visual discourse and metaphor. It argues that headloading serves as a constant symbol of class and power, reflecting the experiences of many Africans and metaphorizing the relationship between developed and developing societies.
