Art enthusiast, Mary-Jane Ohobu, has said that she aims to celebrate African art at her forthcoming exhibition.
In a statement sent to Saturday Beats, she noted that at the exhibition tagged ‘Mboho’ and which is set to hold in London, United Kingdom, from October 10 to 31, 2024, she hopes to celebrate African art through an array of artistic forms.
According to her, the event will incorporate music, painting, body art, textiles, poetry, jewelry, sculpture, pottery, masks and decorations.
She added that with the exhibition, she hopes to amplify distinct cultures on the global stage, presenting unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that span different decades, and showing how various eras influence one another, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected artistic expressions.
This year’s event, which is also in commemoration of Black History Month, will feature presentations from across Africa and the Diaspora, providing a dynamic platform for creatives to express their imagination while honouring their African heritage and traditions.
Artists that will showcase their works at the event include Minika, Hakeem Salaam, FashionandcoEco, Mmakamba, Cute-Saint, Eneyi, Nyny Ryke, Tijani Charles, Theodore Calliste, Clemzy Art, and Christine Mike-Nnaji.
