| مستخلص: |
The article explores the sociocultural significance and pedagogical role of Dada Areogun's woodcarvings within his Osi-Ilorin community in the Ekiti-Yoruba area of Nigeria. It examines how Areogun's artworks reflect his observations of his community's sociocultural and political life, particularly under British colonial rule, and how they served to inspire hope and continuity of indigenous cultural practices. It also delves into the broader context of Yoruba art, highlighting the role of artists as stewards of cultural heritage through their evocative and symbolically rich artworks. |
