Olori Atuwatsé III, Queen Consort of the Warri Kingdom posted on her official IG page; At the Nigerian Pavilion of the London Design Biennale, we stepped into a future anchored in memory, where heritage spoke through design, and technology carried the rhythm of tradition.

It was a privilege to share this moment with His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atuwatsé III CFR, The Olú Of Warri Kingdom. Within Somerset House, among the world's leading designers and thinkers, Nigerian creativity stood with confidence, layered, intentional, and deeply expressive.

Titled Hopes and Impediments, the pavilion drew from Lejja's ancient iron-working legacy in Enugu State and reimagined Nigeria's cultural identity through sound, material, and mapping. The Itsekiri story ran through the centre, present with dignity, purpose, and clarity.

Allegra Ayida's Paddling into the Past brought soul to form.
Her work with the Itsekiri cast iron paddle offered a compelling reflection on memory and place, showing how language, names, and cultural rhythm continue to shape identity.

The experience was fully immersive, brought to life through artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and data visualisation. Art met code. Culture meets interface. And from that meeting, something unmistakably African emerged: intelligent, modern, and deeply human.

This vision was led by Myles Igwebuike as curator and creator, and produced by Itohan Barlow, founder of Culture Lab Africa. Together, they shaped a powerful cultural statement that resonated far beyond the walls of the exhibition.

I'd like to express my gratitude to Victoria Broackes, Angela Bourderye-Munoz, Fiyin Adesanya, Dr. Anino Emuwa, Alero Ogbemi-Barlow, and the Itsekiri guests whose presence gave the moment its weight.

Africa stands at the frontier. With memory, voice, and vision, we are shaping the future.

Centre For Memories Partners with Nigerian Pavilion for London Design Biennale 2025

The Centre For Memories (CFM) is proud to announce its strategic partnership with the Nigerian Pavilion at the 2025 London Design Biennale— one of the world’s foremost platforms for design, innovation, and cultural storytelling.

The Pavilion, curated by Nigerian artist and designer Myles Igwebuike, will be anchored on the theme “Hopes and Impediments”, drawing inspiration from the essays of Chinua Achebe. It explores identity not as a fixed construct, but as something fluid—shaped by memory, history, and community. At its core lies Lejja, a historic South-Eastern Nigerian community known for possessing one of the world’s oldest iron-smelting traditions.

@mylesigwe is using design as a time machine—blending archival research, provocation, and future-casting to reimagine Lejja as a site of future social capital and cultural pride.

Earlier in March, CFM began working with the Nigerian Pavilion team to research, interpret, and exhibit archaeological findings from Lejja, Enugu State. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to preserving Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and projecting it onto the global stage.

Through this collaboration:

- CFM’s extensive research on Lejja will be integrated into the Pavilion’s exhibition at the Biennale.

- A documentary highlighting Lejja’s archaeological and cultural significance will be produced.

- Workshops will be held in communities across South-East Nigeria, to educate local stakeholders on Lejja’s history and its place in Nigeria’s broader cultural narrative.

Both institutions are committed to ethical, inclusive, and accurate storytelling in all outputs of this collaboration.

The exhibition will run from 5 to 29 June 2025 at Somerset House, London. It presents a unique opportunity to celebrate Nigeria’s heritage, engage in global cultural conversations, and reaffirm the value of indigenous knowledge systems.

Together, the Centre For Memories and the Nigerian Pavilion will continue to champion narratives that honour the past while imagining bold futures.
