What happens when you bring a few select powerful women into a room to share about how art touches their lives?
Our elders begin to share the secrets of their joy:
Nigeria's first Professor of Theatre Arts described how a tiny painting of little children playing in the rain evoked intense memories of boarding school blues.
A Sommelier told us about how her favourite drawing of an ancient greek urn on a wine-label, became a touchstone for her restaurant depicting the journey of the grape, from vineyard to wine glass.
A Community Activist turned therapist tells us how writing a book on one of Nigeria’s art pioneers, Bruce Onobrakpeya, changed the way she looks at art.
A Retired Hospital Administrator explains how she built an important collection of African Art, one piece of ancient aso oke, one sculpture, and one painting at a time.
This is what happens when women gather on a quiet afternoon to muse about their passion for Art. Food. Life. Tears. Laughter. Joy.
Join us for our next The Chef, The Curator & The Collector Ladies’ Lunch. We promise you It will be life changing.
