Join the artist himself, Victor Ekpuk, and the exhibition curator Annabelle Priestley to celebrate the opening of Victor Ekpuk: Language and Lineage at Art@Bainbridge.
In paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, artist Victor Ekpuk unfolds his vibrant visual repertoire inspired by Nsibidi, an ancient system of communication from southern Nigeria and northwest Cameroon. Ekpuk’s artworks celebrate our multicultural societies’ syncretism and comment on sociopolitical issues.
