Government

More quotes by Peju Layiwola

Funding is a major issue for every artist; people want to watch a good play; people want to get entertained and they don’t want to pay for it.

People producing arts, all along the roads, on the streets; everywhere and you begin to know that this is a city of Art.

People do not recognise that there’s a lot of talent; a lot of energy that go into putting up a production.

For example, the visual arts which is my own forte, has been totally ignored in Nigeria.

Art draws material largely from the archives and historical episodes in Africa.
