Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center’s Main Gallery showcases 40 artworks from the private collection of southern California contemporary Nigerian art collectors Kingsley and Cassia Ezenma for Patterned Perspectives: Contemporary Nigerian art from the Ezenman Collection. This specially curated exhibition features eight established and emerging artists, all living and working in the southern region of Nigeria. The artists featured in this exhibit use culturally specific imagery in a modern take on portraiture, traditional Ankara fabrics, and patterns and embellishment – all with regionally specific perspectives. Though the works in this exhibition are produced through a diverse range of materials, they share a common bond of cultural unity, expression, hope, and heritage. This is the first time the Ezenma collection will be on view to the public.
