Long before President Macron’s statements on restitutions in 2017, Peju Layiwola, artist and art professor (University of Lagos), Lancelot Imasuen, pioneering Nollywood director, and Jelili Atiku, Lagos-based performance artist, took up this issue artistically, publicly and politically, both in their own countries and internationally. This article explores the contexts of contemporary Nigerian creation through three biographies and three works, all operating at different scale. Essentially based on interviews with three artists and an analysis of their work, this paper aims to shed light on the issues that led to such a commitment and to understand the reception of contemporary creation.‪
