The Museum of Modern and Contemporary African Art London (MoMCAAL) has appointed former Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, GCON, Chairman Board of Advisors.
The museum exhibits artworks and conducts workshops, artist residencies, and educational programs to engage and inspire visitors of all ages.
MoMCAAL is a dynamic institution that celebrates the rich tapestry of African creativity. It passionately believes in the power of art to transcend borders, foster understanding, and inspire dialogue.”
The idea was conceptualised and championed by Mr Olusegun Paul Andrew, who has dimensioned the vision plan for the museum.
The organization is dedicated to showcasing and celebrating Africa’s rich and diverse artistic expressions. It serves as a platform for contemporary African artists to share their perspectives, stories, and experiences through various art forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation.
MoMCAAL is not just a museum, it’s a hub for fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of African art and culture. It’s where dialogue and exchange between artists, scholars, and the community are encouraged and celebrated.
The Osinbajo-led advisory board is a powerhouse of diverse expertise, with members including Mr. Franklin Kilbourn, Executive Chairman of Strauss & Co. South Africa. Others are Mr. Lamon Rutten, Board Member of Ajlan And Brothers, Saudi Arabia, Mr. Olufemi Akinsanya, Chairman of First Ally Capital; and Mr. Olusegun Paul Andrew, Executive Chairman of MoMCAAL.
American-born broadcaster, playwright, critic, and columnist, Bonnie Greer, OBE, also serves the museum, offering her insights as Museum Advisor on the project.
