Artist Spotlight Series with Nasrin Himada and Qudus Abusaleh

Join us in two hours for your chance to win one of two prints of Swimming in the Lagos Marina by the remarkably talented Chukwudubem Ukaigwe. To enter the draw: like, comment, or share tonight’s livestream! ...... Chukwudubem Ukaigwe is a Nigerian born song, dispersed by a transient Atlantic breeze, currently passing through Treaty 1 Territory, so called Canada. He consciously uses a variety of mediums to relay a plurality of ideas at any given time. He views his art practice as a conversation, or a portal into one, and in some instances, as an interpretation of this ongoing exchange. Chukwudubem weighs an occurrence, feeling, or idea on a scale and then creates a narrative in his own language. Chukwudubem operates as an interdisciplinary artist, curator, writer, and cultural worker. Chukwudubem Ukaigwe is the founder of Patterns Collective.
