ABOUT ARGUNGU SERIES
The Argungu Series is a cultural documentation and visual storytelling project dedicated to preserving, promoting, and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Argungu Emirate in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
The project grew out of the Self-Tour Nigeria Project and from a deep recognition of the importance of documenting the traditions, people, landscapes, festivals, histories, and everyday cultural expressions that define Argungu. It is founded on the belief that meaningful and sustainable development begins with a conscious appreciation of a community's identity, history, and cultural heritage.
Through painting, photography, research, documentation, exhibitions, and other creative forms of visual expression, the Argungu Series seeks to create a lasting visual record of Argungu for present and future generations.
Visual documentation is a powerful form of communication. Images can preserve moments, evoke memories, communicate history, and create connections across generations and cultures. What is documented...

ARGUNGU SERIES 11
A SOLO ART EXHIBITION BY OGHAGBON EBOIGBODIN MOSES
A new chapter in the Argungu Series is unfolding.
Through painting, observation, and visual storytelling, Oghagbon Eboigbodin Moses continues his exploration of the people, traditions, landscapes, and cultural memory of Argungu Emirate in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
ARGUNGU SERIES 11 brings together a new body of works created in honour of the fishermen of Argungu—their courage, strength, skill, traditions, and enduring connection to the waters that have shaped generations.
The exhibition celebrates the fishermen not only as participants in a historic cultural tradition, but as custodians of heritage whose stories, labour, and way of life deserve to be remembered and preserved for generations to come.
Through these works, the artist invites us to see Argungu through his eyes: its people, its rivers, its traditions, and the living memory carried from one generation to another.
Coming Soon.
Honouring the fishermen. Preserving the heritage.
Documenting today for tomorrow.
