Ebrohimie Road:
A Museum of Memory

2024 · Written, Directed & Produced by Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún · Cinematography by Tunde Kelani

A feature documentary tracing the life and memory of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka through the University of Ibadan bungalow on Ebrohimie Road — where Soyinka was arrested by the Nigerian government in 1967 during the Biafran War. Part living archive, part elegy, the film asks how we preserve not just what we remember, but the physical markers of such transient memory.

The project grew from Túbọ̀sún's Miles Morland Writing Scholarship (2018). Supported by the Open Society Foundation and Sterling Bank Nigeria. Acquired for the African Studies collections of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Chicago.
