WASTE BEADS: CONNECTING THE DOTS

Who says something thrown away can't become something beautiful?

This November in Enugu, art meets culture and creativity in a whole new way!

The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), in partnership with the Centre for Memories (Ncheta Ndigbo), presents Waste Beads: Connecting the Dots, a touring exhibition by artist Chuma Anagbado, curated by Rejoice Anodo.

Inspired by the rich tradition of Igbo waist beads (Mgbaji Ukwu), the exhibition gives discarded materials a new life, turning waste into beautiful works of art that tell stories of identity, heritage and belonging.

24 November – 20 December 2026
