Fonb Collection Presents A Shared Gaze: Women, Art & Strength in Company.
During Lagos Art Week, the Fonb Yinka Olatunbosun An intimate platform celebrating women in the arts and fostering creative and economic exchange for their practice held Lagos spellbound last Friday.
During Lagos Art Week, the Fonb Collection hosted A Shared Gaze: Women, Art & Strength in Company on November 6.
A private gathering of women in the arts and patrons, the invite-only event puts female artists at the centre, celebrating their vision and creating real opportunities for their practice to grow.
The evening had works by select female artists from the collection, giving guests the chance to meet the women behind the work, hear their stories first-hand, and engage with their practice in a relaxed, personal setting. Their voices are the heart of the gathering. Two legends of Nigerian art, Bruce Onobrakpeya and Tola Wewe, shared words of wisdom. Their respective decades of painting, and storytelling have shaped Nigerian and African art, and their presence offered a bridge between established legacy and the women artists carrying the conversation forward.
