This Mother’s Day, we honour the mothers who preserve heritage. Across generations, and through the Patterns Between Us, mothers have shaped the way we see the world, creating a legacy.
From the artistry of Adire to the enduring cultural expression of Vlisco fabrics, these stories continue to live through the women who wear, design and pass them on.
There are artists, and then there are architects of culture. Nike Davies-Okundaye @nikeartgallery turned heritage into structure, opportunity and global influence This is what it looks like when tradition is built to last.

Art is more than expression, it is a tool for access, storytelling, and opportunity.
We are proud to partner with Dr. Chief Nike Davis Okundaye, the owner of Nike Art Gallery for the art for ability auction.
From curated artistic performances to equipping beneficiaries with financial literacy, this collaboration goes beyond the canvas, bridging art and enterprise to ensure sustainability. Because when creativity meets structure, real growth happens.
Art for Ability is bringing together artists and entrepreneurs with disabilities, not just to showcase talent, but to build businesses, expand opportunities, and create lasting economic value. Through this initiative, funds raised will support 100 entrepreneurs with disabilities, empowering them to scale and thrive.
Because art is not just about what we see—
it’s about the lives we touch and the futures we build.

If you haven't been to see the Nigerian Modernism exhibition at the @tate Modern, you have until May to go. The exhibition featuring my work alongside my colleagues Bruce Onabrakpeya, Muraina Oyelami and Chief Buraimoh is a major, landmark show, widely described as one of the most important exhibitions of Nigerian art ever staged in the UK.
It features Over 250 artworks, more than 50 pioneering artists and includes painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, and more.
It traces the development of modern art in Nigeria from the 1940s through the late 20th century, and focuses on the period around independence in 1960 and beyond.
A true privilege to welcome @officialasiwajubat President Tinubu and our First Lady @officialoluremitinubu to the @tate Nigerian Modern exhibition where my own work is on display. Deeply honoured.
Moments like this remind us that art speaks a universal language.

As we mark Mother’s Day during Women’s International Month, we celebrate the women who give life not only to children, but to culture, community, creativity, and hope.
Mothers are often the first teachers, the first storytellers, the first artists in a child’s life. Through them, traditions are preserved, values are shaped, and futures are nurtured. Their influence extends far beyond the home, quietly transforming societies one generation at a time.
At Nike Art Gallery, we honour the powerful lineage of women whose hands, voices, and visions keep our heritage alive, from grandmothers to mothers to daughters. I'm pictured with two of my daughters, Aina & Caroline, and twobofvmy granddaughters, Aluna& Aina.
Today, we celebrate mothers as the heart of womanhood, resilient, nurturing, visionary, and strong. Your love builds families, your wisdom shapes nations, and your legacy lives on in every life you touch.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers and mother figures around the world. Your strength is the foundation on which tomorrow stands.
