Aindrea Emelife Instagram – Excited to be sharing snippets of curatorial thinking’s over on @nigeriaimaginary and @mowaaofficial ahead of the Nigeria Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale Di Venezia @labiennale.
The opening sentence from the Manifesto, titled, Natural Synthesis, written by artist Uche Okeke.Guided by the renascent African spirit of the 60s, Okeke and his peers forged a new modality for modernist art that synthesised traditional, indigenous African aesthetics with the new techniques and sensibilities found in a post-colonial world.
Articulated through many fields of reference and artistic disciplines, Nigeria Imaginary is a restless investigation of the past. It looks back at some of Nigeria’s historic moments and artistic creations, explores the present, and defiantly imagines what is yet to come. | Posted on 20/Feb/2024 00:41:02
