Description
Kokopelli x Creath
TWO BROTHERS AND ONE LUMBO brings together a selection of works that tackle the socio-political landscape of Nigeria thus generating a visual representation of the numerous opinions and questions presented at a critical period such as this in our country’s framework. It explores the use of satire as a literary device to concretize the mental picture of where we stand as a nation albeit the future expectations from the forthcoming elections.
It marries the display of art in a traditional gallery setting with the fast evolving technology of Art NFT and how it is displayed and interacted with as different methods of expression. This union is the crux of the exhibition. Which is why all the traditionally created NFTs being exhibited will come with the original physical versions when they’re collected.
This births the question of how Art and Technology can be used as effective tools of influencing social/political change in such an environment as Nigeria.
Featuring works of Contemporary Artists and visual storytellers @icenweke @bidemitata @olubankoleolabode @ibukunwilliams_ @artquintessential @ifuekoo @musty_ogar @nyv.lens @wolfman.arts @drexxmadeit in sculptures, paintings and photographs telling stories of the sociopolitical scene.
The exhibition also features a talk session facilitated by speakers discussing blockchain technology, and its potential to influence social structures.
