Daily Trust (Nigeria): IICD Artists in Residence Open Studio
The Daily
Trust ran an article on the artists taking part in the International
Art Residency programme of the International
Institute for Creative Development in Abuja and their meeting with
Professor Jerry Buhari – whose work I really like and who is as kind and
generous a man. The article quotes him saying that
'In sharing ideas here, we connect not just on art, but globally, culturally, and are looking at the diversity of experience and differences in geographical experiences.I started by showing one of my performances which is one of my current directions. In ‘Man and Earth,’ I was exploring the relationship between the human and environment where I picked elements like prayer, ablution and so on. The whole idea is to cause man to see the need to realize that he is a gardener.'
