Aindrea Emelife Instagram – NIGERIA PAVILION at 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia
Proud to present…. NIGERIA IMAGINARY.
How do you imagine a nation? Can we make a contemporary parable?
The concept of Nigeria Imaginary comes from two points of departure. It explores the role of both great moments in Nigeria’s history—moments of optimism—as well as the Nigeria that lives in all of our minds: a Nigeria that could be and is yet to be. Nigeria Imaginary presents different perspectives and constructed ideas, memories, and nostalgias of the country, including an intergenerational and diasporic lens, to imagine a Nigeria for the future. Works range in many differing mediums, including painting, photography, drawing, installation, sculpture, AR, sound, and film.
