Nsibidi Institute has been relaunched with a series of cultural events and renewed commitment to heritage preservation and creative collaboration in Nigeria.

The relaunch event, the organisation said in a statement, drew guests from across Nigeria’s cultural, academic, and artistic circles.

The evening featured the unveiling of the Nsibidi Institute Mobile Museum, a dynamic installation that blends ancient artefacts with contemporary artistic expressions.

Guests also explored a rare books library, an archival photo gallery, and enjoyed a nostalgic highlife musical performance.

In his welcome address, the institute’s new Director, Nze Ed Emeka Keazor, laid out plans for collaboration with stakeholders across the cultural and heritage ecosystem.

“The Nsibidi Institute seeks to be a catalyst for meaningful partnerships that advance the preservation, documentation, and celebration of African cultural legacies,” he said.

Chairman of the Nsibidi Foundation, Chuka Mordi, reinforced the vision, outlining a year-long programme of diverse initiatives aimed at engaging communities and celebrating African identity.

The evening saw the announcement of a strategic partnership between Nsibidi Institute and Premier Records, aimed at developing joint projects that celebrate Nigeria’s rich musical history.
