Heritage Reimagined

About the Exhibition

Heritage Reimagined brought together 12 of Nigeria's most innovative artists to explore the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary expression. The exhibition examined how age-old techniques—from Adire textile dyeing to bronze casting—can be reinterpreted for modern audiences while honoring their cultural origins.

Each artist was challenged to create works that bridge generations, using traditional methods with contemporary materials or vice versa. The result was a powerful dialogue between past and present, featuring pieces that ranged from large-scale textile installations to intricate metalwork sculptures.

The exhibition drew over 2,000 visitors during its six-week run and sparked important conversations about cultural preservation in contemporary Nigerian art. Several works were acquired by private collectors and institutions.
