The Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilisation (CBAAC) has taken a significant step in positioning Nigeria's cultural heritage on the global stage, with its Director General, Aisha Adamu Augie, selected among 12 cultural leaders for the 2026 Yale Directors Forum (YDF). The fellowship, convened by Yale University's Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (IPCH), provides an opportunity for CBAAC to deepen its engagement with global heritage networks, exchange knowledge with institutions across the Global South, and strengthen its capacity for innovation, conservation, and cultural exchange.
The 12 fellows are recognized as accomplished leaders working to preserve, protect, and share cultural heritage in both tangible and intangible forms, with Augie's inclusion reflecting the role of CBAAC as an institution dedicated to preserving the arts, history, and culture of Africa and the Diaspora.
