Omenka Gallery is proud to present “Power and Powers“, an exhibition of recent photographs by contemporary Nigerian artist, Uche James‐Iroha.
Supported by Nikon, the
exhibition calls for a self-examination and invites the audience to an
introspective of 54 years of epileptic power supply in Nigeria.
According to the artist, “These are
images that explore the dark and unprogressive romance between political
power and electrical power distribution in Nigeria. By far the most
populous nation in the continent with vast human and material resources
and enormous potential, electricity is still a big issue. Marred by
erratic power supply, the nation is caught in the web of deceit where
political office seekers clearly use the promise of ‘light’ as the most
effective bait. It is interesting to know that tons of white elephant
projects which include a cashless economic system and automated rail
transport, are in the works gulping mammoth budgets and will all depend
on an efficient electrical supply system.”
Be sure to attend and show support.
Time: 10AM
Venue: Omenka Gallery, 24, Ikoyi Crescent, Off Modupe Alakija, Ikoyi, Lagos
All images in “Power and Powers” were shot exclusively with Nikon.
