The art of tie and dye

Inside Track joined members of the expat community (mostly from the Nigerian Field Society) for a visit to the Nike Art Gallery on Airport Road here in Abuja recently for a glimpse of authentic Nigerian art and culture. The whole day affair was a most enjoyable activity where everyone ha the chance to see an actual demonstration on the art of dyeing...plus they had a taste of traditional Nigerian delicacies prepared especially by the centre for the visitors.
