Ọrun

Yoruba

Noun

1. (Ìṣẹ̀ṣe) the place of origin for all humans where souls are created, humans return to their individual ọ̀run after death. It does not represent a specific entity or location, every human has their own origin place.

Each person living on earth attempts to achieve perfection and find their destiny in Ọrun, the spiritual realm of those who do good and beneficial things.

We are the ferryman of a history, embodied by art objects from West and Central Africa, to its future ephemeral guardians.

As defenders of beauty, we wish to share with the world the richness of its cultural singularities, against the current of uniformity and oblivion.
