The launch and first public presentation of ‘Concrete Thinking’ a collection of essays by Nigeria’s pre-eminent artist, architect and master builder.
Artist, Designer, Architect, and Master Builder; the most prominent words that spring to mind when thinking of Demas Nwoko. His influences in his paintings and sculptures are indigenous politics, culture, and art practices. In his career as an architect, his style was a distinct, modernist understanding of the construction practices and the materials involved in the process. His work in creating contemporary African theatre with experimental modes of products and stage design has been incredibly impactful, so much so that in Africa today, Demas is one of the most innovative and celebrated architects currently working.
