Aindrea Emelife Instagram – LAGOS CALLING: Elle U.K. Nov Issue
Honoured to be a main feature in @elleuk November Issue. Interviewed by @omfgnoway I speak about growing up in Earls Court as an art loving curious child, a path changing bursary to @courtauld curating guerilla-style at end of lease retail properties all the way up to the current moment as I plan my vision as the Curator of the Nigeria Pavilion at next years Venice Biennale and work on the most exhilarating history making project as the Curator at @mowaaofficial – Museum of West African Art
There’s lots of bits about my life between London and Lagos, as well as next weeks upcoming collaboration with @christiesinc as the auction “Know Who We Are” sees global artists donate works to support the Nigeria Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2024 and MOWAA’s Rainforest Gallery, designed by architect @worofila , where the Nigeria Pavilion will return to.
Pinching myself to be called this years “breakout star” but know that at the heart of it all, my vision is much bigger than myself. Ever afraid of a self centric life, this is about expanding history. Thrilled that this history is being considered “safe in [my] hands”
