Glad to see Nigerian (Lagosian) Video Art exhibited to new audiences, and our very own Jude Anogwih and Emeka Ogboh featured. We were told that during the question and answer session much of the debate centred around the work of the Nigerian artists, leading to discussions around politics and environmental issues on the continent (Africa).
