At TerraKulture: The Clime Celebrated Jeyifo and Appraises Itself

Abstract

The event was double-edged. One, it was meant to celebrate the life and achievements of one of the gifted literary scholars of our time, Professor Biodun Jeyifo who turned 60 years of age on January 5, and secondly, it was also packaged as a platform to critically appraise the state of the arts during the past one year. But for whatever reason the event last Sunday was packaged, the memories of the 55th Art Stampede, organized quarterly by the Committee for Relevant Art (CORA), which has been at the head of art advocacy in the country for nearly two decades, will not be forgotten in a hurry.
