The US-born Nigerian gallerist Adenrele Sonariwo was four years old when a sudden turn of events in 1990 meant her family moved to Africa: her father inherited the role of a Yoruba traditional ruler in south-west Nigeria.
“My name, Adenrele, means ‘the crown is going back home’,” says the 37-year-old, who opened Rele Gallery in Mayfair, London, last month, aimed at showcasing African art to an international audience.
