We are grateful to all of those who have supported the Nigeria Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia.
From corporate sponsors - in Nigeria and internationally, to private individuals around the world, to the galleries behind the artists - your generosity has been deeply meaningful in making this important project. a reality.
The impact of this Pavilion will be symbolically meaningful to a whole new generation of artists in Nigeria and signifies the importance of highlighting the artistic creation of countries that have been overlooked by art history. Like all great issues of the time, we should feel these issues PERSONALLY. We are thrilled to recognise such a diverse, international group of supporters. This is an opportunity not just for Nigeria, but for Africa, and for the world -there is power in the imaginary and in discovery. We must come together and re-dream.
