Nike Davies-Okundaye: Meet the artist preserving Nigeria’s textile heritage

Step inside the Lagos gallery of Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye, one of Nigeria’s most well-known textile artists and painters. As she guides us through her vibrant works, we explore the revival of traditional art practices and meet her daughter, Aina, who continues the tradition of Yoruba storytelling through textiles. Through their hands, we witness a living legacy of art, heritage, and the stories women pass down across generations.
