@cheekawrites: Art is history... I've finally realized why i have such a huge love and tie to African art besides the skill and beauty. It dawned on me that our art is also evidence if anything, that tells stories before we even realized they were being told. So if you're reading this and you're in Lagos, Nigeria, this is your sign to visit the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art to get acquainted with the artistic expressions of the African story. #exploreafrica #nigeriantraveller #travelstoriesworld #travelstoryteller #exploreafricatour #africanhistory #africantraveller #africantravel #africanart #africanbronze #bronzeart #beninbronze #igboukwu #nok #nokart #africansculpture #educationaltourism

😭😭I was at the British Museum yesterday and I cried, our ancestors were called uncivilised yet their artefacts were incredible, and not inferior to non created in other parts of the world

We had art, we had poetry, we had pottery, the only thing we didn't have was tech, and neither did they.

There existed several African writing systems before Colonialism. The Egyptian hieroglyphs the most common.

"Literacy is a continuum of learning and proficiency in reading, writing and using numbers throughout life." How does art = literacy?

Edos in ancient times were even bilingual, able to speak their local dialect and Portuguese because of the trade with the Portuguese.
