Women to Women is an exhibition of visual art produced in a wide 
variety of media by four artists who are currently working in Nigeria 
or in exile abroad. Curated by noted African art historian Dr. dele 
jegede, this exhibition is designed to promote cultural dialogue within 
American communities and to involve them in an appreciation of 
perspectives that may be both unfamiliar and challenging to them. In 
particular, it will foster understanding of the role of women in 
contemporary Nigerian society and bring about insights regarding 
ongoing social, political and economic changes in Africa. The sculptures, 
drawings, paintings and textiles in this vivid exhibition are a testimony 
to the ability of Nigerian women to design a triumphant course in the 
face of adversity wrought by an oppressive military regime. 
A scholarly catalog and video documentary will be produced in conjunction 
with this exhibition to further accentuate the artists' voices and 
acknowledge the industriousness and creativity of Nigerian women. 
Slide set available on request.
