Notes

"To me Osogbo is like an orchard, a haven in a disrupted world which has been turned on end by the maladies of modern civilization. To me, Osogbo Art shares the vibrant atmosphere and soothing calmness of Susanne Adunni Wenger's sacred grove of Osun, inviting visitors to rest and meditate and at the same time seizing their souls, making a deep impression, and irreversibly changing their view of life."
