New Culture Studio, Mokola, Ibadan
Perched at the Mokola hilltop, no. 34, Adeola, Latinwo Close, is the New Culture Studio. Its construction began in 1967, and it was designed by Demas Nwoko, artist, architect and builder.
From its proud height, the New Culture Studio elegantly overlooks the environment of the surrounding lowlands behind it. Behind the studio, the surrounding descends rather steeply into an undulating lowland, with houses densely packed together, within which a tall pentecostal building is located. The panoramic view from the studio pleasantly places the world before your very eyes — buildings, a brief expanse of lush land, network of roads, towering structures scattered here and there with pylons and masts dotting everywhere. This view stretches interminably, and only ends where the skyline embraces the crest of some other hills which you can equally see from where you stand at the studio.
