Christopher Udoh Chosen as Curator for Yemisi Shyllon Art Museum

After standing out among numerous applicants, IED Firenze and Roma alumnus Christopher Udoh has been selected as the curator for the esteemed Yemisi Shyllon Art Museum in Lagos, Nigeria. The museum issued an open call for curators seeking socially significant exhibition ideas that could drive educational programs and engage diverse audiences in Lagos and beyond. Udoh's curatorial concept aligned closely with the museum's goals, offering an opportunity to showcase artworks from lesser-known collections alongside the museum's extensive collection.
