An outdoor festival on the theme of national unity in Nigeria’s capital, combining a main stage programme with a visual arts exhibition, a cultural market, a food court and a children’s zone.
As creative director, Farida built every part of the festival around one idea, national unity, so that the stage, the exhibition, the market and the children’s zone each let audiences meet it in a different form.

Farida Atanda commanded live front-of-house operations, cue coordination, artist stage timing, and emergency protocol management for Unity Festival at Old Parade Ground.
Multi-zone outdoor festival line array alignment, dual redundant digital mixing consoles, and 32-channel RF wireless spectrum coordination.
Automated timecode beam matrices, LED wash backdrops, and follow-spot stage tracking.
Heavy-duty outdoor ground-supported festival main stage with covered cantilever sound wings.
