PRINCE TUNDE ODUNLADE / NIGHT SERIES / PRINCE TUNDE ODUNLADE / NIGHT SERIES /
Join us in welcoming Prince Tunde Odunlade to our Night Series, for a one-night-only artist talk and percussion performance alongside a collection of his latest works in beaded batik wall-hangings, which will be avaliable for purchase.
Prince Tunde Odunlade (b. 1954 Ile-ife, Nigeria) is a Nigerian-based textile artist who has exhibited, taught, lectured, studied, and travelled extensively within Nigeria, Africa, North America, and Europe. Through a unique batik appliqué method, he employed accent techniques on textiles and designed the floatograph style, in which batiks, linocuts, and woodcut prints depict Yoruba history, culture, and life. His love for music, which is evident in his works, brought him to be the artistic director of the Toki Memorial Arts Centre in Ibadan for fourteen years, his way of giving opportunities to other musicians. His dedication to building bridges around the world and improving the situation of the people in Nigeria led him to launch the International Campaign for Better Arts and Cultural Awareness (ICBACCA) and the International Centre for Better Arts and Cultural Arcade (ICBACA Ltd.) in Ibadan. In addition to his accomplishments are the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Award, Carnegie Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and MacArthur Foundation endowments for the arts. His works are in the collections of many museums and public institutions.
