While I am fully persuaded that no perspective is superior, I am as well fully in doubt that that all perspectives are valid, equal and beneficial.
This essay/article is my recent interrogation of the second principle of Multidimensionality.
#embracingmultidimensionality
Let’s pretend I know what I’m doing
That the steps I take are not negotiations with uncertainty.
But inheritances remembered through the body.
Let’s pretend the ground is not shifting,
that I am not listening for ancestors
in the silence between decisions.
I move anyway.
Even when I am uncertain,
Because stillness has never been my language.
If I falter,
it is not confusion. It is translation.
It is a crossing between worlds that refuse singular meaning.
So let’s pretend, for a moment,
that I know what I’m doing,
until the pretending becomes practice,
and the practice becomes knowing.

What began as a quiet idea has unfolded into one of the most fulfilling experiences I have held.
The Curious Curating Workshop did not arrive fully formed. It moved as all living things do; from thought, to action, to a gathering. What now exists is not just a workshop, but a community of Curious Curators each person carrying their own questions, their own sensibilities, their own ways of seeing.
There is something deeply humbling about witnessing people encounter the my work on the philosophy of Multidimensionality; not as theory, but as practice. To see it interpreted, stretched, and re-rooted within different contexts reminds me that knowledge is never singular. It breathes through people.
I am grateful to @rriskinitall , for walking this path in partnership, and for helping hold this space here in Lagos.
To our guest facilitators, thank you for your generosity, your presence, and the ways you expanded not just the participants, but me as well.
Special thanks to @sawilliamsai@jumokesanwo@qudusonikeku@abass.kelani@lemighariokwu
Your contributions sit at the heart of this experience.
What has been formed here is not ending. It is shifting.
The Curious Curating community is moving into its next phase.
Stay curious.
Tomorrow’s exhibition is not an ending but a beginning.
How does one end something that has only just started to breathe?
What we will witness tomorrow is the birth of something new, something that does not yet have a name. We invite you to be part of that moment.
It has been an honour to hold space for some of the most brilliant minds across arts, culture, design, film, and literature the world has ever seen.
Many Trees, A Forest.
Many trees do not compete but converge. And in that convergence, something larger begins to breathe.
Many Trees, A Forest is a living process.
A space where artists step into curatorial thought, and curators return to the intimacy of making. What emerges is a multidimensional voice with a collective rhythm that is layered, questioning, becoming.
This group exhibition marks the culmination of the Curious Curating Workshop an in-process laboratory where curatorial ideas were tested, unlearned, and reimagined together.
Come and encounter the forest.
The Curious Curating Workshop culminates this weekend in Many Trees, A Forest. A group exhibition and in-process laboratory shaped entirely by its participants.
What emerges here is both an exhibition and a shift in orientation: artists stepping into curatorial authorship, curators returning to the instinct of making. A quiet disruption of roles, where practice becomes porous and knowledge is collectively grown.
Join us from Saturday through Monday to witness the unfolding of a shared inquiry of a living archive of experimentation, process, and possibility.
📍 Didi Museum, Victoria Island, Lagos
🗓️ April 25–27 | 12PM
Come and encounter what happens when many voices learn to hold a forest.
As we enter week 2 of the Curious Curating Workshop, meet our Facilitators.
We’re excited about the learning so far. Curating is care, and more also is the techniques, science and intuitive processes of manifesting intentional contexts for human engagements.
We are learning even much more these layers of meaning of curating.

It has been a transformational week of exploring alternative approaches of the curatorial practice. Week begins next week Monday.
Meet the rest of the Curious Curating Workshop participants.

Yesterday, we opened the doors to something special.
We are so excited to welcome this brilliant group of creative professionals spanning diverse fields and disciplines to the Curious Curating Workshop in collaboration with @rriskinitall and our in house curator @patrickodimnfe
Together, we’re exploring multidimensional practices, learning to curate curiously, and discovering new ways to enrich their craft and push the boundaries of what creativity can look like.
With the artist talk which held this past Saturday, I’d say confidently that @cokolalawal and @mskomeotobo have deep grasp of the multilayered whys driving their creation.
It was profound and insightful learning on certain intersections of our collective existence and experiences from religion, ethnicities, ecological standing, gender and the hope in a fractured reality.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, awareness and knowledge with us.

I’m deeply honoured to have worked with two brilliant women artists, @mskomeotobo and @cokolalawal , on the reopening of Didi Museum (Foundation).
Kome’s work reflects a refreshing depth of scholarship. Her use of non-mainstream materials, alongside a precise and thoughtful engagement with geometry that is almost architectural in its discipline, to reveal a practice grounded in research and intellectual rigor.
Kolalawal’s approach is of equal intellectual depth. Through her experimentation with natural pigments such as hibiscus (zobo) dye and charcoal, she achieves a restrained, muted palette that carries profound weight. Her work speaks to urgent contemporary realities of inequality, ecological degradation, and migration without losing its poetic subtlety.
Together, these artists offer quiet yet resolute reflections on what is often overlooked, whispered about, or deliberately obscured.
It was a true pleasure curating Rebirth alongside Deputy Curator @mirabellapaulcia
We had a beautiful Sunday exhibition reopening at Didi Museum Foundation. It was a return. A reweaving. And a remembering.
Didi Museum Foundation reopened its doors with REBIRTH an exhibition that journeys through forgotten faiths, fractured realities, and the layered experiences of gender.
Join us for an intimate Artist Talk with @mskomeotobo and @cokolalawal , as they unpack the philosophies, histories, and inner worlds shaping their works. Moderated by @patrickodimnfe
This is more than a reopening, it is an invocation of memory, identity, and becoming.
