Reclaimed Beauty: Musawa hails Popoola’s solo exhibition as model for sustainability, cultural diplomacy
Nigerian Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, opened Dotun Popoola's eighth solo exhibition, “Reclaimed Beauty: A Dialogue Between Continents,” at The Village by Tikera in Abuja. The show features large-scale sculptures and installations made from discarded metal and repurposed materials, produced by Tikera Africa in partnership with the Scrap Art Museum. Musawa praised Popoola's decade-long practice of transforming waste into culturally significant art, calling him a global cultural ambassador and linking the exhibition to government efforts to boost Nigeria's cultural economy under President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda.
