On Africa Day, Nigerian visual artist Ademola Adeshina launched a dual-art exhibit entitled “Borderless Borders” at his Simple Living Art Gallery located in Kibagabaga, Kigali, on Sunday, May 25th. Featuring 37 collaborative artworks alongside co-artist Moses Oghagbon, also from Nigeria, the showcase runs until June 21st, open every day between 9 AM and 7 PM. Notable figures within the realm of visual arts attended the inauguration; notably, Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Rwanda, Ibrahim Zanna, was honored as the event’s special guest. Expressing enthusiasm over the coincidence with Africa Day, Ambassdor Zanna lauded Rwanda’s receptiveness towards foreign enterprises, attributing this attitude to the flourishing presence of non-domestic art venues in Kigali.
Adeshina articulated his realization regarding the establishment of this gallery back in 2022 upon visiting Kigali initially. “I had envisioned setting up this space during my inaugural trip to Kigali two years ago,” he stated, emphasizing divine intervention guiding its fruition. Multiple trips throughout 2023 further solidified his perception of Rwanda gaining prominence internationally as a must-visit travel spot, thus motivating him to invest in establishing an art gallery there.
One standout artwork named ‘Unified Purpose’ encapsulates themes related to collective ambition promoting cooperation and solidarity amongst participants aiming for mutual achievements. According to Adeshina, unified objectives drive higher levels of dedication along with improved group dynamics essential for enduring triumphs. Clarity in communal goals provides orientation and essence transforming varied skills into cohesive power beneficial across extended durations.
The moniker attributed to the Simple Living Art Gallery holds sentimental value reflecting memories tied directly to university times where peers acknowledged Adeshina adopting minimalistic living standards influencing overall perspectives profoundly. Naming conventions transitioned seamlessly from initial studios based out of Lagos evolving concurrently parallelly expanding ventures reaching new heights via operations conducted presently within Kigali premises.
“I prioritize maintaining straightforwardness concerning attire choices, lifestyles maintained, outlook adopted—most concerns typically faced rarely impact myself,” remarked Adeshina discussing philosophies shaping fundamental beliefs cherished deeply. Similarly, naming convention utilized for exhibited collection mirrors underlying messages highlighting interconnected nature binding humankind universally disregarding artificial demarcations imposed arbitrarily dividing territories artificially.
With thirteen individual shows credited post-professional debut year 1999, Adeshina leverages rich experiential learning bolstering creative collaborations undertaken currently.
