The rise of COVID-19 has forced some artists and creatives to explore the option of online exhibitions.
For instance, with galleries and museums temporarily closed, a Nigerian fine art photographer, Chudy Ogobegwu, is showcasing African photos and literary works in an online exhibition tagged ‘The Peace Exhibit’.
It features a collection of art portraits and literary works created by photographers, artists, and writers around Africa. Mr Ogobegwu, who revealed this in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES, said, “the exhibition, through an array of fine art portraits and literary works that are both beautiful and heart-wrenching, will challenge you to see the world differently and learn empathy”.He added that the dark themes explored by the contributing photographers and writers “represent the everyday experiences of people struggling with depression and anxiety”.
