Sight / Site: Shaping an Iconic Vision

In conversation with Amaize Ojeikere, we explore the exacting vision of master photographer J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, whose relentless curiosity and commitment to cultural preservation recorded Nigerian cultural history, a legacy showcased in the landmark exhibition An Exacting Eye. This discussion moves beyond the famous Hairstyle Series to examine the power of the artist as witness and the crucial homecoming of this iconic legacy: the formal establishment of a foundation dedicated to its preservation, presentation, and scholarly research.

Moderated by Missla Libsekal, ART X Lagos, Curator at Large.
