About CultureTree
We are a pan-African organisation committed to creating diverse opportunities to learn and experience African languages, arts & culture.
Productions
Our goal with our production company is to create content that breaks barriers and changes mindsets. We produce children’s programmes which are currently distributed across TV channels in the UK and Africa.
My Life: Coding Genius
We were commissioned to produce a short documentary for CBBC’s multi-award winning series My Life in celebration of International Women’s Day 2021. Our film Coding Genius follows 11 year old Emmanuella who takes her passion for coding to another level by launching a coding club in Abuja, Nigeria.
Yorùbá Nursery Rhymes for BBC Tiny Happy People
We produced a series of Yorùbá nursery rhyme videos for BBC Tiny Happy People which are available to watch on their website and social media platforms. Singing nursery rhymes to babies is a great way for them to learn the language from an early age.
Fizzi
Fizzi is a children’s series created and Associate Produced by Gbemisola Isimi for YANGA! TV (Sky channel 186). It showcases African history, music, stories and culture. It was created to appeal to both parent’s and children’s collective cultural imagination.
Artist Spotlight
Every month we will showcase the work of both known and emerging visual artists from across the African continent and its diaspora.
Isimi Taiwo
Isimi Taiwo popularly known as ISIMISM is a native of Kogi state, Nigeria. As a forerunner of hyperrealism in Nigeria he focuses on the hyperrrealistic conceptualization and mind bending surrealistic approach of visually expressing his emotions, life experiences and important messages or stories using the element “water”, an important element in the sustainability of life on earth from which his inspiration is drawn from.
He is currently working on a body of works drawn from this inspiration which he themed “Interactions with the joker”. He works with different mediums but most especially oil and pencil.
