Mbari Club, Ibadan
1961 onwards · Ibadan, Oyo State · Nigeria
A club for writers and artists founded in Ibadan in 1961 by Ulli Beier with Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe, J. P. Clark, Demas Nwoko, Uche Okeke and others. Its gallery, publications and the magazine Black Orpheus gave early exhibitions to artists from across Africa and led to the Mbari Mbayo club in Oshogbo.
What to look for
Not one style: a meeting place for the new African modernism in painting, sculpture, print, poetry and theatre.
