Some great people passing through Lagos and CCA,Lagos

South African curator, Gabi Ngcobo visited Lagos in July 09 and gave a talk on South African artists who deal with the issue of African Masculinity in their work. During her stay she also interacted with artists based in Lagos as well as visiting the important OYASAF Foundation.

I took a group of family members, friends and other guests to the OYASAF Foundation where we were graciously received and taken round the sculpute garden by collector Engr. Yemisi Shyllon (founder of OYASAF) and artist Kunle Adeyemi.
