By Udemma Chukwuma

Museum of Things Unseen, runs from 14 November to 6 December 2026 at Eko
Atlantic, according to the event's official Facebook page.

DozieArts Brings Victoria Oniosun to 1-54 London
Nigerian painter Victoria Oniosun will be
presented by DozieArts at the 2026 edition of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art
Fair in London this October.
The fair runs at Somerset House from
October 15 to 18, with a Press and VIP Preview on October 15 and public opening
from October 16.
Born in Oyo in 1998, Oniosun studied Fine
and Applied Arts at Obafemi Awolowo University, graduating in 2022. Her
practice uses simplified, abstracted figures to explore companionship,
identity, femininity and mental health. Rather than relying on detailed facial
representation, she uses gesture, posture and thickly worked surfaces to convey
emotion.
Works such as Girls Like Us, Dream Girls and pieces from her Sisi Eko and Don’t Touch My Hair series reflect her continuing interest in the experiences and representation of women.
