How can young Nigerian students be motivated to use their own creativity and how to arouse their curiosity about the arts?
In 2019,
Goethe-Institut Nigeria in collaboration with
Rele Art Foundation organized a series of workshops titled BACK TO BASE. The idea was to send young artists, who attended the Rele Art Foundation's programme 'Young Contemporaries', back to their former schools in order to facilitate two days art workshops for the students.
The project aimed at introducing young students to professional art practices and motivating them to explore their own creativity. The workshops took place in five cities and were facilitated by
Dandelion Egho (Ekpoma),
Osaru Obaseki (Port Harcourt),
Sejiro Avoseh (Badagry),
Marcellina Akpojotor (Lagos) and
Fidelis Joseph (Yola).
The well-known Nigerian film director
Ema Edosio Deelen and her crew filmed the whole project.
The film will be screened in the presence of the film director and two of the artists, Osaru Obaseki and Marcellina Akpojotor. In an ensuing panel discussion, they will talk about the project and their personal experiences
