What’s on

One hundred and eight terracotta heads, lined up like a silent army. Each carries the face of one of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014 and still missing, modelled in the style of the 15th-century Ife heads.

Started by Prune Nourry and Adé Bantu, the project brought together 108 students from Obafemi-Awolowo University, potters from Ilorin and the girls' mothers. A documentary runs alongside. After its tour the work will join a museum in Nigeria, so this is the time to see it.

Good to know: on until 8 January 2027, so you can pair it with the Aoulad-Syad show (until 29 November).
