About

Come check out The Suya Man Series, created by digital collage artist, Emmanuel Nwogbo! This visual art installation is available in the Neptune Theatre Scotiabank Lobby during other Prismatic Arts Festival events being held at Neptune Theatre.

The suya man is a street meat vendor found on every corner, working hard to survive and provide for his family. Through The Suya Man Series, Emmanuel Nwogbo uses digital collage to explore the relationship between the common meat vendor and the wider world – from political discourse and social justice to the absurd and humorous.
