Marcellina Akpojotor: Draw From Life

In this episode, I speak with  Marcellina a visionary artist from Lagos, Nigeria. Marcellina began her artistic path under the guidance of her father, learning drawing, design, stenciling, writing, and calligraphy before studying Art and Industrial Design at the Lagos State Polytechnic.

Marcellina is renowned for her unique style, blending collaging with traditional painting techniques to create rich, textured artworks. Her pieces delve into themes of femininity, identity, familial history, and women's empowerment, often using discarded Ankara fabric—a cultural symbol with deep significance.
