Fresco Gallery & 16/16 present UDUA, a collectibles Christmas market

//

UDUA—named after the Ibibio word for “market”—  brings together art, vinyl records, art books, and collector’s items in a way that feels both intimate and celebratory for anyone who loves contemporary art, music, and design. 

UDUA is a collectors market centering notions of collaboration and community; it is a collaborative curatorial endeavor comprising 5 different sections, the market invites independent curators and practitioners to craft unique sections, each weaving their perspective into the larger narrative. Together, we’ve created a dynamic experience that invites you to explore and immerse yourself in the richness of art, music, and creativity.

By inviting other artists and curators to participate, we hope to expand the idea of a marketplace as a space not just for buying and selling but as a place for gathering, gifting, and sharing. UDUA will feature original works by 21 artists and a vinyl record collection curated by five art practitioners and culture contributors:

Giving back: 5% of sales proceeds will be donated to support free education initiatives across Nigeria, extending the spirit of community through giving back. We’ve partnered with Tripod Learning Foundation & Raising Star Africa Foundation to make this happen.
