Philosophical Objects: Man and the Other | A Group Exhibiton
"Philosophical Objects: Man and the Other" explores the intersection of art and philosophy, presenting artworks as catalysts for deep reflection on reality, identity, and human existence. Organized around six philosophical domains—metaphysics, anthropology, aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, and transcendence—the exhibition invites viewers to engage with life’s fundamental questions. Inspired by thinkers like Tolstoy and Alva Noë, it positions art not just as an object of admiration but as an experience that challenges perception and provokes dialogue. Through this compelling interplay of ideas and visual expression, Philosophical Objects transforms art into a space for inquiry, prompting us to see, think, and feel differently. Featured Artists include: 1. Abiodun Olaku (B.1958) 2. Kolade Oshinowo (B.1948) 3. Kelani Abass (B.1979) 4. Sussane Wenger (1915-2009) 5. Erhabor Emokpae (1934-1984) 6. George Edozie (B.1972) 7. Rom Isichei (B.1966) 8. Amon Kotei (1915-2011) 9. Aina Onabolu (1882-1963) 10. Lamidi Fakeye (1928-2009) 11. Ndidi Dike (B.1960) 12. Mufu Onifade (B. 1966) among many others.

Philosophical Objects: Man and the Other | A Group Exhibiton
Art is more than a visual experience—it is a portal to deep contemplation, a means of questioning, and a way of engaging with the complexities of existence. Philosophical Objects: Man and the Other explores the intersection of art and philosophy, inviting viewers to reflect on fundamental questions about reality, identity, and our relationship with the world around us. The exhibition unfolds across six key philosophical domains: metaphysics (the nature of reality), anthropology (the essence of human nature), aesthetics (the study of beauty and perception), epistemology (how we acquire knowledge), ethics (the principles of right and wrong), and transcendence (the search for meaning beyond the material). Through these lenses, artworks in the exhibition serve as both questions and answers—objects that challenge perception, spark dialogue, and invite viewers to reconsider their place in the world.

Material Memory | Anthony Azekwoh, Gbemileke Adekunle, & Saheed Adelakun

Memory is not static. It is tactile, layered, and ever-shifting; etched into the surfaces of our lives through material, texture, and form. Material Memory brings together the works of Anthony Azekwoh, Gbemileke Adekunle, and Saheed Adelakun, three artists who engage deeply with the physicality of memory, using material as both a medium and a metaphor for personal and collective histories.
