Georgina Beier is legendary for “teaching” first generation Oshogbo artists who are now some of Africa’s best known modern artists - Twins Seven-Seven, Jimoh Buraimoh and Muraina Oyelami. Beier’s work in Nigeria and Papua New Guinea has been of tremendous interest to Africanist art historians and visual culture scholars.

Longtime friend and student of her work, Chika Okeke-Agulu (Princeton), will explore important moments of Beier’s illustrious career and offer new insights into her art and relationship with African cultures, art and artists.
