Writing for the Times with Professor Bruce Onobrakpeya

Renowned for his contributions to African modernism, Bruce Onobrakpeya has been committed to the international dissemination of knowledge about Nigeria and Africa through art for over six decades, during which his practice of continual experimentation has yielded an oeuvre that explores the spectrum of “ideas about who we are [as a society]”, ideas informed by what the society experiences and imagines itself to be. Onobrakpeya, a UNESCO-designated living human treasure, discusses what it means to write and reinvent for the times.
