Nigerian Modernism: Slow Looking

20 November 2025 at 18.30–19.30
Book tickets Become a Member

Susanne Wenger, Oduduwa Creation Myth, 1963

Slow down and engage deeply with a single artwork from Nigerian Modernism, Susanne Wenger's Oduduwa Creation Myth

November's Slow Looking will focus on the artwork Oduduwa Creation Myth (Susanne Wenger, 1963), with a talk delivered by the storytellers behind Adeche Atelier, Adwoa Botchey and Solomon Adebiyi.

Whether a painting, film scene, photograph, sculpture or installation, Slow Looking offers a focused, accessible analysis that reveals layers of meaning, technique, and cultural context. Rather than surveying broad movements or artists’ careers, Slow Looking celebrates the power of paying attention — asking what one artwork can teach us about our world.

Perfect for art lovers, students, and curious minds alike, this series transforms observation into insight in the course of an hour, offering a space for meaningful discussion and connection.

Adwoa Botchey and Solomon Adebiyi

Adwoa Botchey and Solomon Adebiyi, the creative couple behind Adeche Atelier, are celebrated storytellers, artists, and content creators who have spent the past five years redefining how African mythology, folklore, and culture are represented in contemporary art and media. Known for their distinctive practice of painting every piece simultaneously, their work is deeply rooted in African spiritual systems, oral traditions, and heritage.

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner Street.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
  • A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
