Lecture by Emeka Ogboh

At the Museum Ludwig's auditorium.
We kindly ask for your registration.

In his lecture “Art in Every Sense”, artist Emeka Ogboh reflects on how he incorporates multiple sensory elements - sound, sight, taste, smell and touch - into his art practice and uses them to craft immersive and multifaceted experiences.

Born in Nigeria in 1977 and based in Berlin, Emeka Ogboh uses his art to explore the collective and individual memory of global cultures. Sound, sculpture and the food, such as local beer flavors, serve as media for the artist to make transnational memories and economic and interpersonal relationships tangible.

In 2018, the Initiative Junger Ankauf acquired the sound installation Oshodi Stock Exchange (2014/2016) for the Museum Ludwig collection.
