Women in Nigerian visual arts sector have suffered under-representation. In fact, the ratio of male to female artists in Nigeria is imbalanced in favour of men.
In art schools, men are a majority of faculty members. There is equally imbalance in both enrolment of visual art students at various academic levels and graduate turnouts.
The dearth of female artists who’ve achieved the big time, in sales, reputation, academic attention or general acclaim is also obvious.
The disparity between male and female artists in Nigeria is further emphasised by the low participation rates of female artists relative to male artists in organised professional exhibitions.
