Artist Conversation: Victor Ekpuk and Chika Okeke-Agulu

Conversation between the artist Victor Ekpuk and Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu on the occasion of the exhibition Victor Ekpuk: Language and Lineage at Art@Bainbridge.

In paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, the artist Victor Ekpuk unfolds his vibrant visual repertoire inspired by Nsibidi, an ancient system of communication from southern Nigeria and northwest Cameroon. Ekpuk’s artworks celebrate our multicultural societies’ syncretism and comment on sociopolitical issues. Okeke-Agulu is the Robert Schirmer Professor of Art and Archaeology and African American Studies, director of the Program in African Studies, and director of the African World Initiative at Princeton University.
