YSMA is Nigeria’s first purpose built, privately owned art museum seeded with a generous contribution for Yemisi Shyllon, a Yoruba prince from Abeokuta, the capital of the Ogun State in southwest Nigeria, who is arguably Nigeria’s biggest art collector and the university museum’s main donor. We can think of no better legacy to continue than the community supporting his ambitious legacy and supporting the creation of a visiting fellowship at YSMA.

Formed in 2015, our friends at BirthRight Africa inspires youth and young adults of African descent ages 13 – 30 to explore their cultural roots and legacy of innovation within the United States and select nations in Africa as a birthright. They’ve partnered with Jidenna to lead a cohort of creatives in the Diaspora to connect with their African roots and we are excited to support their much needed mission.

Nyege Nyege Music Festival

Often considered the most important 4-day international music festival in East Africa for both its one of a kind curation and its unique East African party vibe, what lies beneath is a Kampala based arts collective that includes an artist residency and community studios. We are honored to join the host of supporters for the artist residency and collaborate with Nyege Nyege even further to create an immersive virtual experience for our community that are unable to attend physically.
