Musician and creative genius, Nissi Ogulu continues to etch her name on the global stage — this time, on the platform of her Digital Art Series ‘Jigsaw Tribe’ exhibition going live at the Flannels Flagship store on Oxford Street London.
The digital art series in collaboration with W1 Curates features a collection of unique pieces exploring the music heritage of Africa through ancient yet animated instruments, exploring the different facets of life and music, each represented as a puzzle piece.
Nissi enthuses: “This collection — my artistic take on Africa’s vibrant music tradition and showcasing it to the world — depicts the music heritage of my home country Nigeria, through traditional instruments. It warms my heart to say that each art piece has been transformed into a puzzle, forming a connection and larger pattern of meaning and significance”.
In tandem with her original intention with ‘Jigsaw Tribe’, Nissi’s unwavering goal has always been to “take you across the continent to discover hand-crafted musical instruments, in all their colourful glory, that may not be known to the rest of the world. These pieces also reflect the music tradition of Africa, with its amazing sounds, in a hyper-contemporary and animated artistic expression.”
This exclusive digital art series ‘Jigsaw Tribe’ by Nissi — a kaleidoscopic artistic journey in a visually compelling exhibition — is being showcased at the flagship Flannels store in Oxford Street London from August 15 – 19, 2022
