Part 1 • About The Production

THE ARTISTIC IDEA

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.

FARIDA’S CONTRIBUTION

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.
