African Artists' Foundation

African Artists' Foundation
Lagos, Nigeria

Joseph Fidelis (b. 1989) is a visual artist from Adamawa state, Nigeria. Fidelis emits his concern about his culture, using visual metaphors to reflect on a mystery in Marghi kingdom, he explores traditional myths of various cultures in Nigeria

“What amazes me is the intersection and the interaction of two spiritual forces (man and animal), especially when the reaction taking place could be as a result of anger or when there is a need for defence. We can also now find Salkurs living in cities just like anybody else”– Joseph Fidelis

In 2018, he was commissioned to curate a mural for the “Maker Lab” at the African Artists Foundation Lagos. He is a 2019 Rele Art Foundation Young Contemporaries Alumni.
