On the occasion of the solo exhibition “And We Hired a Carpenter to Patch the Cloth” by Eva Obodo, Florian Azzopardi, Founder and Director of AFIKARIS Gallery, guides us through the work of the artist and the lasting influence of the Nsukka School. Emerging after Nigeria’s independence, the Nsukka School encouraged artists to draw from local traditions and develop a creative language independent of Western influence. Pioneers like El Anatsui - who mentored both Obodo and Ozioma Onuzulike - inspired students to transform everyday materials into art while forging their own unique narratives. Obodo’s own practice continues this legacy of transformation, demonstrating how the language of materials can articulate histories of exploitation and survival. « And We Hired a Carpenter to Patch the Cloth” is on view at AFIKARIS Gallery until January 3.
