Victor Ekpuk is a Nigerian-born artist whose work draws on Nsibidi, an indigenous African system of writing that employs graphic signs and codes to convey concepts. The central theme of his work is the exploration of the relationships, challenges and responses to changes that characterize the human condition. Ekpuk will discuss his recent work and sources of inspiration.
