The importance of arts-based adult education in today’s culturally diverse world cannot be overemphasized. Arts-based adult learning provides some of the important cultural contexts for informal learning. Other forms of adult learning—formal and nonformal—have also been immensely enriched by this form of adult education. Museums and art galleries are at the heart of arts-based learning. Whereas learning in the museum has gained attention in western climes, adult education researchers in Nigeria are yet to focus attention on this area of research. The aim of this study was to explore how collections in art galleries and museums provide important opportunities for adult learning in Nigeria. The specific objectives were to explore what adults learn when they interact with collections while visiting museums and art galleries and to highlight how they learn from these collections. Qualitative data were collected from five participants comprising visitors and curators in Natural History Museum, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and the National Gallery of Arts, Osogbo, Nigeria, through interviews. The data were analyzed using content analysis.

Suburban Landscape

<p>Today we see a simplification in our landscapes; a globalisation of culture and landscape that has forced people into a state of disconnection with place. It has divided our world into culturally rich, and culturally absent worlds. Worlds where natural ecologies are seen as separate entities to the human cultures that live on the land. Our landscapes need to reconnect and adapt; not only to the ever increasingly culturally diverse world, but also to the site specific social and natural ecologies that exist.  Wainuiomata is no exemption to this condition. Its suburban landscape is divided from the natural ecologies that lay dormant on its peripheries. It is an austere environment, but one with a colourful and culturally diverse community that is unable to express itself.  This piece of research argues that landscape architecture has the ability to enable disadvantaged communities to rekindle a sense of connection with, and custodianship over their landscapes. It discusses ways of designing that can reform lost relationships between communities and the common ground they live upon.  The work brings forward how landscapes can be designed in ways that provide opportunities not only for communities to self build their landscape, but also how the architect can create frameworks that facilitate a process of engagement at different scales. It further explores how a respect for ecological environments can be instilled into the community through building relationships between ecological and social environments, as opposed to their current segregation.  Lastly, the thesis looks at how a landscape architect may design in a way that pushes beyond the final drawings. Doing this with an understanding that it is a curation of a process (one where communities can become a part of the making of a landscape) that will bring a sense of custodianship to its dwellers.</p>
