Section Niger Delta, Nigeria
Three artists of the group 'Magnificant 10 Finger Artists' (MAFAS10) in Nigeria were represented with works in Amsterdam. Their National Coordinator, Nduwhite Ndubuisi Ahanonu, who is also Nigeria's cultural ambassador to Berlin, Germany, was also present during the exhibition together with Prof. Stella Williams from Ile Ife University. Both interacted with the groups from other countries and exhibition visitors.
The pupils of the Peace Clubs of three schools in the Niger Delta participated in a workshop end May 2009 organised by Nduwhite Ndubuisi Ahanonu and fixed their experiences with fisheries, oil-related violence and environmental conditions in drawings and paintings. The schools are Stella Maris College, Port Harcourt, Community Secondary School Abuluma and Community Secondary School Okochiri, Okrika, all in Rivers State. The modest means at disposal meant that a number of drawings were done only with pencils and colour pens and are thus more difficult to reproduce than the acryl colour works.
