The creative process can be quite fun, walahi.

You give it what it takes.

Here I am making a new picture.

MOYOGALLERIA

ByMoyo Okediji June 15, 2021May 21, 2023

I’ve been excited lately about something.

Yesterday I received the certificate of occupancy for MOYOGALLERIA, Austin, Texas.

I will focus on African art.

We will invite African artists for residencies of up to three months.

We will provide the artist with a living and working space.

Life Begins At 65

ByMoyo Okediji February 28, 2020May 21, 2023

Life Begins At 65

I’m only just 64, but life begins at 65

I thank all my friends who sent me birthday wishes yesterday.

I can’t wait for the party to start when, finally, I get born one year from today.

But, it’s alright. Some people are only in their thirties, forties, fifties and early sixties. They have to wait a while to get born and start rocking.

At 65, you’ve done it all. Life has thrown all it has at you, and you have stood your ground. You can easily say, “Ẹran kí la ò jẹ rí? What edible flesh am I yet to chew?”
