Emeka Ogboh

The artwork The Ambivalence of 1960 by artist Emeka Ogboh uses archived sound recordings to highlight how Nigeria's modern past, symbolised by the promises of independence, contrasts with the contemporary present, characterised by failed hope and long forgotten dreams. In doing so, the work uncovers the ways in which nostalgia and memory play into the national imaginary.

In the framework of the exhibition HLYSNAN: The Notion and Politics of Listening.
