This photo series delves into the culture surrounding Nigerian marriage ceremonies and the intricacies of tradition within the diaspora.
Nigerians, irrespective of where they find themselves, hold their distinctiveness as far as marriage is concerned. Their weddings are uncompromising in their opulence. Whether doing it for themselves, or for their families, young diasporic Nigerians are opting for these performances of love, family ties, and cultural identity now more than ever.
This vibrant exhibition by IADT BA [Hons] Arts Management student Olamide Ojegbenro celebrates the essence of love, while inviting you to consider the syncretic nature of culture. Through the union of two young diasporic Nigerians, Ojegbenro allows us to peer into the cultural customs and inter-tribal traditions of a Yoruba bride and her Igbo husband.
Olamide Ojegbenro has worked on a number of distinctive and storytelling projects whilst showcasing an array of past and upcoming exhibitions including recently ”Still I Rise” @soulspcecollective “What Cannot Be Seen” @whatcannotbeseen and “NAÏVE” photobook @naivephotobook as an extension of the exhibition in March 2022.
Olamide Ojegbenro plans to continue using his craft and passion for photography and film to showcase diverse stories and faces on a global scale.
