The Nigeria Pavilion presents ‘Nigeria Imaginary’ at The Venice Biennale 2024.
Curated by Aindrea Emelife, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at MOWAA (Museum of West African Art), the Nigeria Pavilion showcases commissioned, site-specific works by a cross-generational group of artists—Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Ndidi Dike, Onyeka Igwe, Toyin Ojih Odutola, Abraham Oghobase, Precious Okoyomon, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and Fatimah Tuggar—who were selected to respond to the theme and exhibition title Nigeria Imaginary.
Using mediums that include painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation, sound, AR, and film, the artists explore the many Nigerias that live in their minds, whether as moments of history, nostalgic moods, or visions of a Nigeria that is yet to be.
Christie’s is delighted to be a sponsor of the Nigerian Pavilion.
