Nigeria: Nigeria's youngest painter

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, Arts & Culture, Youth

Onarieta is Nigeria's youngest painter [1]: “Carrying her lunch box and dressed in her signature look – tiny head scarf covering her beaded, braided hair, a contemporary top and a long african print skirt to match her scarf – it's hard not to notice how artsy this cute little girl is. I'd first heard about Onarieta Aminisisi sometime last year as she was preparing for her first exhibition in December (I could have sworn I'd heard about her at the end of last summer).”
