In continuation of our residency program, OYASAF is pleased to host Victor Ekpuk for 60 days; he is the first visual artist in our residency program.

Victor Ekpuk is a Nigerian-born contemporary artist, based in Washington, DC, United States of America. His art began as an exploration of nsibidi “traditional” graphics and writing systems in Nigeria from which he has developed a style of mark making that is the interplay of art and writing.
Ekpuk’s work embraces a wider spectrum of meaning that is rooted in African and global contemporary art discourses.
Mr. Victor Ekpuk

Ekpuk has had numerous exhibitions and residencies in Africa, Europe, and the United States. His works are in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African Art, the Newark Museum, and the World Bank, among others.
