Nigeria's museum landscape
 Public attraction even without art treasures

The evidence of the highly developed courtly art that flourished in the old kingdom of Benin has been preserved in European and North American collections since the British colonial period. This fact still forces Nigerian museums to preserve the cultural memory of its indigenous peoples in other ways.

Digitalisation
 Digitally Sidelined

Signing petitions, booking a visit to the local swimming pool, home schooling – all kinds of everyday things work digitally today. Those who have no access to the internet or who have only limited digital skills could be marginalized in our society.

Portraying diversity in children's books
 Changing the narrative

Minority groups are far too infrequently represented in children's literature produced in Europe and North America. Unfortunately, these are the books available in most schools and home libraries in Africa. Enajite Efemuaye from Kachifo, a Nigerian publishing house, is telling new narratives that reflect the diversity in the society.

The Art & Tech Podcast

This podcast series consists of six episodes that aim to examine how the interplay between art and technology shapes Nigeria’s creative landscape. Each episode delves into the work and experience of a specific cultural practitioner based in Abuja or Lagos.

Kulturama.digital

Kulturama brings international culture into your living room: house concerts live from Buenos Aires, puppet theatre from the kitchen or live acts from the Berlin club scene. Organisers enter their events and open them to international audiences. Spectators can find dates and support artists with donations. Together and in solidarity through this time.
