Idehen
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Idehen seeks to address and depict our journey of self-discovery. The journey is more important than the destination, I've often learned.
Idehen in bini, means to stand firm. To be confident in ourselves, which of course grows as we journey through various paths. Sometimes, one may hold on to arrogance if necessary because the world would often tries to enforce its projections on us. It is imperative to stand firm even as we walk across these borders of existential questions about why we are here and what we are to do.
