Open studio on Uli artist slated in PT
PORT TOWNSEND — Chuu Krydz Ikwuemesi, an artist from the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, will open his studio at Fort Worden State Park today and Saturday.
Admission is free to the public as Ikwuemesi, a Centrum artist in residence, presents his paintings and drawings created during the month of April.
Visitors will find his studio at the top of the outside staircase on the south side of Building 205 at Fort Worden, 200 Battery Way.
Ikwuemesi’s studio doors will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today and from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.
A painter, art critic, cultural entrepreneur and associate professor in the university’s Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Ikwuemesi is working to revive the art of Uli design.
The form was once practiced throughout most of Igboland — southeastern Nigeria — but since Western influences began to affect traditional village life, it started to fade away.
Today, Uli is alive in the hands of a few contemporary artists such as Ikwuemesi.
