Nonhlanhla rides solo on this episode of Art Means Business, she hosted the delegates of The Female Artists Association of Nigeria (FEEAN). The executives of the association visiting South Africa in celebration of the 58th-year independence of the federal republic of Nigeria. We are reflecting 58 years of independence and chatting about business relations between the Republic of South Africa and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
FEEAN was born out of the dire need of the female artists who in the past find it difficult to come out during exhibitions with their male counterparts. Most of them after marriage or graduation abandon the profession for other things. Some female professional artists came together to channel their different challenges in society through art exhibitions, seminars, workshops and training for the younger ones, and also to advocate against inequality, rape, genital mutilation, violence, child abuse, sex slaves at conflict areas, adoption and so on.
