This exhibition explores the visual cultures and histories of Mami Wata, examining the world of water deities and their seductive powers. It demonstrates how art both reflects and actively contributes to beliefs and religious practices, globalization and capitalism. Most of all, it reveals the potency of images and ideas to shape the lives of people, communities and societies.
