This is your last chance to see Nigerian Modernism before it closes on 10 May. Bringing together over 50 artists — including Uzo Egonu, El Anatsui, Ladi Kwali and Ben Enwonwu MBE — the exhibition tells the story of a generation who fused Nigerian and European traditions to create something entirely their own.
Book a ticket to visit the exhibition during our extended opening hours until 21.00 (last entry to the exhibition at 19.30), then head to The Corner to enjoy live music by Mr Manna and DJ's late into the evening.

NATIVE Magazine is the award-winning publication by The NATIVE - the influential African media collective telling stories from the global Black diaspora through music, content, and IRL experiences.
The special limited-edition Nigerian Modernism issue is guest edited by Bunmi Agusto and explores the lives and legacies of Nigeria's post-Modernist artists in the contemporary world. Tracing the lineage of Nigerian Modernity, the editorial draws parallels between the mid-20th century generation and the equally rebellious post-Alté generation of Nigerian and British-Nigerian creatives working today across music, fashion, art and food. Artists and stories featured include Bruce Onobrakpeya, Yusuf Grillo, Mowalola, Obongjayar, Nike Okundaye Davies and more.
