Peter Probst examines how the Nigerian city of Osogbo has transformed the local Osun goddess tradition into a global tourist attraction, exploring the intersections between art, religion and commerce, and particularly the role of the 1960s art workshops led by Ulli Beer and the subsequent artistic boom they triggered. Probst examines heritage as a commercial resource and how a cultural heritage can be leveraged to secure economic growth.
