Description

Aindrea Emelife was inspired to study art history by the Benin Bronzes, focusing on overlooked Nigerian artists like Uche Okeke at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She's driven to rewrite art history with African perspectives, influenced by Chika Okeke-Agulu, who highlighted art's connection to colonialism and identity. At MOWAA, she champions contemporary African artists, archival preservation, and cross-border collaborations. She believes digitisation democratises art access, preserving it for posterity. Aindrea celebrates diverse Black art perspectives and is excited about growing global appreciation for African art.
