“Lagos is Calling.” In an art world landscape full of ‘Ones to Watch’, the historian and curator (and ELLE contributing editor) Aindrea Emelife is easily one of London’s most talked-about right now https://t.co/7r0lD5z0DS

I am so glad!

[Omar Moore @thepopcornreel]

Unforgettable, powerful exhibit @MoADsf. You MUST see BLACK VENUS. Shattering. Empowering. Art challenges and can make you uncomfortable, pained and sometimes angry. All how I felt after BV. Absolutely necessary. In SF til Aug 20. https://t.co/yOqFmrnDHB #BlackVenus @aindrea🙏🏿🖤

Interview | The newly-appointed curator of Nigeria's forthcoming Edo Museum of West African Art @Aindrea Emelife on "the pursuit of a truly global art ecosystem" https://t.co/d8ESuRMlYc

[Plowden & Smith @PlowdenAndSmith]

"restitution is meaningless if it doesn’t catalyse and connect with the present and the future."
Writing in @FT @aindrea considers the West African art scene & how the return of objects should mark the start, not the end, of a relationship.

Because of my work with cities like Freetown, Accra, Dakar and soon Abidjan, I was especially taken by this piece by @aindrea on the West Africa art scene and its legacy of creativity👇

Too much good stuff in 'Art as subterfuge' to parse.

@LNLonRN @PhillipAdams_1 @slamup @iampilato @aindrea So good! Handprints as the first protest art, art as taboo breaker, backstory to ‘When We Say Black Lives Matter’, *and* the democratisation of protest art…

★★★★★ "If we are to move towards a truly decolonised art world then we must realise that it should not require an artist to fit neatly or repeatedly into a category. Exhibitions like this show us how" #InTheBlackFantastic @GuardianCulture [@aindrea]
