of the Nigerian art community were united for a common cause last Thursday as they gathered to celebrate the life and times of an accomplished art scholar, curator, Olabisi Silva, for an evening of tributes at Freedom Park in Lagos.The event which was well attended was led by Nollywood veteran and sister of the deceased, Joke Silva, friends, family and fans who shared their experiences with the well-travelled art lover.
One of the videos documents her work with world-renowned artist, Yinka Shonibare, whose works explore cultural identity, colonialism and post-colonialism during his visit to Lagos. For Jude Anogwih, a former associate Curator at CCA: “It’s pertinent to note here that Africa to Bisi was not an irrational or unreachable landmass. Bisi’s support and influence on the younger generation of artists and curators as well as her established respect and professional relationship with the wider communities in the arts and of course, politics on the continent and beyond, made it less tasking to reach out easily across the continent and draw in respective opinions, results, and input.
