'The African Passage is an inspirational exhibition that will without any doubt, distinctively contribute to the enrichment of the belief that the prominence that European art has achieved over the centuries took its root or bearing from the inspiration of African art'.

Dr Okey Anueyiagu, the brain behind the assemblage of six Nigerian artists for an art exhibition at the Air Gallery, London recently saw the exhibition as an opportunity for the world to experience the richness of culture coming out of
Africa in general and Nigeria in particular, a continent and country that has been plagued by dilapidating military dictatorship, tyranny, political turmoil and economic degradation.
He hope the exhibition will provide the vehicle for the world to see through art, the enormous potential that Africa and Nigeria economy holds, and will show that despite some negative images emanating from the country, it still holds the key to the yet untapped future of Africa, and indeed the world.
