‘In a Pot of Hot Soup’ presented an exhibition of contemporary Nigerian art centred on artists’ explorations of the political voice within Nigeria. The title draws on Nigerian culinary metaphors to emphasise the creativity and diversity of the visual art worlds in Nigeria. It presented a current snapshot of some key Nigerian contemporary artists from a spectrum of media and practice, including photographers, cartoonists, animators, video, and mixed-media artists. The exhibition highlighted the dynamic creativities of Nigerian artists as they encounter and respond to the often-challenging circumstances found in Nigeria shaped by local and national politics.

The film explores one of the artists within the exhibition, Jelili Atiku, who performed  outside of the symposium at SOAS University in order to bring attention to the experimental vaccine Pfizer brought to the children of Kano in 1996.
