Kulture Kode is set to close the year with a striking visual offering entitled Layers of Existence: A Panoramic View, a solo art exhibition by UK-based Nigerian mixed-media artist Chinze Ojobo, curated by Udemma Chukwuma.

This exhibition is opening on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at the Didi Museum in Victoria Island, Lagos, and the showcase brings together paintings, mixed-media pieces, and wood etchings that unfold like chapters of a personal and collective diary.

Ojobo, known for bold textures and vibrant palette, has long explored the intersection of tradition and contemporary expression. The artist art converses with cultural memory, interrogating how identity is layered, built, peeled, and rebuilt by lived experiences.

In Layers of Existence, these ideas erupt into a visual symphony, one that draws from African artistic heritage but sits firmly within global artistic discourse.

The exhibition’s title hints at its structure: not a linear story, but an immersive, panoramic sweep across emotion and history. Each piece invites the viewer to step closer, to read the ridges, pigments, and carved lines as one might read a map of the soul. Ojobo has always excelled at using texture as narrative, and here, the textures do more than decorate, they speak, vibrate, and sometimes confront.

Curator Udemma Chukwuma guides the exhibition with sensitivity, allowing the works to breathe while shaping an environment that heightens their meditative and expressive power. This presentation makes room not just for viewing art but for experiencing it by lingering in its depths, questioning its symbols, and listening to the echoes of what it remembers.

For Lagos’s vibrant art community, Layers of Existence offers more than an exhibition. It is a rare moment to witness new, never-before-seen works from an artist whose practice bridges continents and cultural narratives. It is also a conviction to the evolving force of Nigerian artists in the global arena that are grounded in heritage, but unafraid of experimentation and reinvention.

Visitors are invited to explore the exhibition daily from December 1 to 4, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, at the iconic Didi Museum, Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island.

With its blend of colour, craft, reflection, and cultural resonance, Layers of Existence, promises to be one of the season’s most compelling art exhibitions.
