OPENING TODAY

GROUP EXHIBITION “For This Cause”

For This Cause is a group exhibition exploring memory, heritage, lineage and the quiet responsibility of carrying culture forward. Bringing together the works of five Nigerian artists: T**i Fagbemi, Ifeanyi Kalu, Chukwuemeka Anthony, Okenwa Chimaobi, and Femi Arogundade.

The exhibition reflects on what it means to preserve identity across generations through photography, film, painting, and architectural practice.

____________________________________________

Through deeply personal and collective narratives, the exhibition examines African identity not as a relic of the past, but as a living inheritance continuously shaped, protected, and passed on. Each artist approaches this conversation differently, yet together they create a powerful meditation on continuity, memory and belonging.

____________________________________________

Join us to experience this compelling exhibition and engage with works that honor the stories, rituals, and histories that continue to define us.

DIGITAL BENIN: A Curated Conversation

Yesterday, Kokopelli hosted the team for an evening that went into the difficult but necessary questions.
________________________________________________

5,285 objects. 138 institutions. 20 countries. One platform built on a single conviction: that Benin heritage deserves to be held on its own terms, named in its own language, interpreted through its own sources.
________________________________________________

What stood out was the scale of what’s been built, and the deliberateness. The decisions of the platform, from the Edo object designations to the exclusive use of Benin-authored historical sources, shows what digital infrastructure can do when it’s built with cultural responsibility rather than just access in mind.
________________________________________________

We closed the evening with a Q&A that the team handled with real depth.

Thank you to the team and everyone who came to the conversation.

_________________________________________

Digital Benin brings together artists, curators, digital practitioners, and cultural researchers to reflect on the technical, ethical, and collaborative dimensions of building digital heritage platforms.

We look forward to hosting you
