Now that all galleries, museums and cultural centers are closed.

Now that all galleries, museums and cultural centers are closed, the only option left to see art and discuss with artists in to do it online.

And now that we have to stay home, from Johannesburg to Jinzhou, from Calabar to California, from Malaca to Malama, all of us with internet connections can now get together and beat the blues of the social isolation by getting online, and logging on to the Facebook profile of the University of African Art, and participate in the weekly Face-to-Facebook Art Talk that I, Moyo Okediji, host.

Our talk on Tuesday, May 14, 2020, is with Dawn Okoro.

My mumu is too much.

ByMoyo Okediji

My mumu is too much.

Hear my story o.

They just fixed the electricity at my place in Nigeria.

To get it fixed, I bought four poles, and hundreds of yards of cable.

I contributed hundreds of thousands of naira to get the transformer.

I bought the meter.

And paid to have the entire thing installed.

But I understand that none of these things that I bought belongs to me.

They all belong to the government.

Àwọn Yèyélórìṣà, Akirè Shrine Ilé Ifẹ̀, 2003.

After I took this picture in 2003, I returned to find the group in 2017.

But for the two women at the extreme left, all the others had transitioned.

Everything had disappeared.

There was nothing left. Absolutely nothing. Zit.

But the Irunmoles have a way of ensuring that we don’t lose everything, even though we might be careless as humans.

INNER VISION: OJÚ INÚ

ByMoyo Okediji

About 50 villages, mostly located in Ogun States, have been abandoned by Yoruba farmers and their families, but now occupied by Fulani invaders who drove out these villagers.

This morning I saw videos of the officers of the Nigerian Customs and Excises raiding the shops of poor market women, removing items that these women bought for sale to their customers.

This is a two-prong attack: the villagers driven out of their villages are unable to farm and provide food supplies for the people in towns and cities.

STOLEN.

ByMoyo Okediji

This work that I completed in 1980 was stolen from my house in Nigeria around 1994.

If anyone is in possession of it, please know that it is stolen work.

This work and more than fifty masterpieces were stolen from my apartment
