Visual Art from Nigeria at the NAC

Beginning this Sunday, July 26th 2009, the Niagara Artists Centre will play host to the visual works of Emmanuel Emvic and three generations of the Folorunso family. Entitled "The Yourba Journey Through Life," the exhibit details the lives and beliefs of the Yourba people of Nigeria.

From the NAC's description;

This exhibition of contemporary metal work, drawing, and painting illustrate the unique pluralism of Yoruba people’s cosmology and beliefs. The featured art work explains these beliefs through the journey of life, from creation to death. They also brush against the contemporary societal and political change occurring rapidly in Nigeria.

The display will remain open until September 19th, 2009. For more information, please visit the exhibit's profile on NAC.org.
