'Diminished Capacity' the first Nigerian Pavilion at 15th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia

'Diminished Capacity' intends to analyze a historical transaction moment with the ambition to rewrite history, starting from Nigeria to provide unpublished interpretations.
In this condition, to rewrite history becomes a necessary evolution. The wrong reading of Africa transforms the continent itself into a country poised in perpetual opposition to restlessness; what is its identity in forms and structures? “Africa is not a country!” In that conflict, the first Nigerian Pavilion wants to prospect new methodologies.

Commissioner: Mr. Nkanta George Ufot (Director - International Cultural Relations, Ministry of Information and Culture)
