By Motionviu
The year when Bolanle Austen-Peters returned to Nigeria from the United States, the lawyer had a burning desire: to restore the art identity that was on the brink of getting forgotten.
“As an expatriate, you tend to visit a lot of touristic sites and destinations when you are abroad. Typically, I used to take my children, we’d go to art centres, we’d go to galleries, we’d go to museums. And I recognised there was a lack of that in Nigeria”
Her desire spurred her to action which gave birth to Terra Kulture.

The poise lady who has, by no small means, put the art world back on the Nigerian scene admits that men also experience the brunt of gender inequality in Nigeria.
She says, " The truth of the matter is, there is gender inequality in Nigeria to an extent. But there is also pressure on men. Men go through a lot of inequalities as well. It is not only the women that experience these things"
