Hailing from various corners of Africa, these artists will converge at Windsor Gallery in Lagos to showcase a total of 22 remarkable works under the theme “State of Africa.” This theme celebrates art that explores the diverse and magnificent landscapes of the African continent.
“State of Africa” draws its inspiration from the 2005 book “The State of Africa: A History of the Continent Since Independence” by Martin Meredith. However, the inaugural exhibition aims to take a proactive stance in shedding light on the continent, highlighting the rich tapestry of creativity that defines African artistry through painting, photography, and sculpture.
The theme delves into the myriad voices, stories, and cultures that collectively form Africa’s artistic identity. It examines how artists interpret Africa’s contemporary complexities and, more importantly, its resilience, strength, diversity, and talent. Through their art, these creators navigate the intersections of tradition and modernity, heritage and innovation, echoing the ever-evolving dialogue between Africa’s past and present.
The selection of artists represents a mosaic of styles, perspectives, and mediums, underscoring the vast reservoir of creative expression found within Africa. The exhibition is described as a harmonious convergence of diverse cultures, mediums, and practices, featuring a wide range of artworks that capture the essence of Africa.
CEO and Founder of Windsor Gallery, Richard Vedelego, expressed his vision of propelling the African contemporary art scene to unprecedented heights. He emphasized the importance of providing infrastructure in Africa for artists and collectors, reducing the need for them to go to Europe for art-related endeavors.
Vedelego explained, “If we can start building our own market here, it means that we will make money and develop the artistic landscape. Afrobeats has enormously helped our cause and in regards to positioning us and redefining the new version and the new point of view of Africanism. We need to start doing the same with our fashion and art and see our artists become more pronounced.”
Responding to questions about the rapid establishment of galleries, Vedelego emphasized the need to broaden the scope of African contemporary art beyond regional boundaries. He revealed plans to open galleries in Cape Town next year and expand into Europe.
Ayo Oshodi, Manager of Windsor Gallery in Lagos, highlighted the abundance of talent in Africa and expressed optimism about the potential for cross-cultural connections through art.
“There are a lot of talents in Africa that even if 20 galleries come up today, they won’t be enough. We see the talents and the potentials, and the sky is the limit. We are trying to establish a cross-cultural connection,” Oshodi stated.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
