Revealed Speaker – August Udoh

June 28, 2019

August Udoh one of the speakers at Revealed Workshops is a prolific story teller whose style of portraiture stands out in this world! In his words, I’m an amateur photographer, I like to call myself that because it makes it easy for me to wanna learn everyday and to be creative. You have to continually become a beginner, I’m more of a portraitist I find the human face interesting and my belief is finally in the end there is nothing but the face and the truth is the power of the landscape of the face, the valleys and the promontories …

Looking at these photographs of Beverly while doing post-production on them, I started pondering over the individuality of humanity, the sheer randomness of our stories and experience and how it affects us as. I looked at these photographs and decide this was a use-case of skill and creativity. I tried to convince myself that I could apply same skill and creativity to achieve similar results in a different situation but alas, each creation is unique. There are no formulas for the emotions nor exact patterns for the juxtaposition of light reflections and refractions, most importantly, we cannot turn back the …

KEY TO FREEDOM (A Reminder)

June 11, 2019

For our resolve was forged in silence, fire, grit, mire and cruelty, we look inward for hope and strength. We stare death in the eye with each passing breath, but our struggle did not start today and we are not about to give up. Forget the lies and schisms of these politrickcians (prove me wrong), out with the old and in with the older and clueless, they promise heaven and earth but end up in cycle of blame-games. God willing, we hold the key to our destinies, Key to freedom and we are not about to give it up. This …

ART x CHAIR OWN IT!

March 30, 2018

Àdùnní (meaning ‘daughter of the sweet one’ in Yoruba), is a celebration of African Modernism and to compliment the outlook and celebrate this Art piece. Our cultural excellence aligned with the works of the multi-talented, miss Kedike @chidinmaekile who was our muse for the shoot. This piece of Art is proudly Nigerian hence why the chair’s frame is made from Nigerian teak wood and is upholstered in two styles of the indigenous Yoruba textile Asò-oké. The front bears Asò-oké Gboro-gidi (solid) and behind Asò-oké Onja-wú ati iho (perforated), both hand-loomed in Nigeria. The Àdùnní Chair from #Ilé-Ila available is in …
