The intersection of art and culture has become the breeding ground for conversations that shape our culture in Nigeria. In an age where information lies at our fingertips, accessibility to the contributions of women in society is more apparent, however this has not always been the case.

Where are they now?” The ratio of male to female established artists in Nigeria continues to be strongly imbalanced, in favour of men.
