SMO Contemporary Art presents Journeys, an exhibition of paintings, mixed media works and sculptures, by ten artists and hosted by The Wheatbaker. The exhibition features 33 works by Ademola Ojo, Aluu Prosper, Collins Abinoro, Ejiro Fenegal, Iniobong Usoro, Praise Sanni-Adeniyi, Prudence Chimutuwah, Robert Oniha, Sanjo Lawal and Tumininu Gbebire, ten emerging and mid-career artists from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, reflecting on diverse questions which follow us on our life journeys in search of meaning.
In the midst of heightened global migration, and Africa’s acute brain drain, these artists explore critical themes including our cultural identity and rootedness , the spiritual and physical search for home, and humanity’s yearning for safety, abundance and a place for enfolding.
