The progress of love in Nigeria
The Progress of Love at CCA, Lagos (Nigeria) is a project curated by Bisi Silva with curatorial assistance by Taiye Idahor. Its new iteration takes place from Friday 7th till Sunday 9th December with a line up of interactive installations, live art, screenings, artists’ talks, panel discussions and literary presentations exploring love from a diversity of perspectives.
On October 13th CCA, Lagos kicked off the programme The Progress of Love, a transatlantic collaboration with The Menil Collection, Houston and The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, St Louis, focusing on a series of events that prioritise the performative. The Progress of Love began with artist Valerie Oka’s exhibition highlighting the complexities of human emotions and relationships through her drawings, paintings and installations.
The Progress of Love continues to unfold in Lagos in December coinciding with the 5th Anniversary celebration of the Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos.
