My Lagos Waka || A tour of Lekki Arts Market and Nike Art Gallery ( Tips, Hacks and market finds)

Image
Touring the Lekki Arts and Crafts  Market I finally got around organizing my first (group) tour  of the tour series called THE LAGOS WAKA  and on my tour list , the lekki arts and craft market was the first but i decided to add Nike Art Gallery ( I have been there thrice ) on this tour since it was on the same axis  as the art and Crafts Market.  The funny thing about this trip was that just like the normal African fashion, 5 people indicated interest in going on this tour and on the day of the tour trip only Royalbiba of     www.royalbiba.com    showed up while others came up with excuses. We started out late and our first stop was the market. The lekki Arts and Crafts  Market ( also known as the Jakande art market ) is an art haven that showcases the beauty of art in Lagos, Nigeria. The market is located at jakande bus-stop, off lekki-epe expressway ( 5th roundabout after lekki toll-gate, When coming from Victoria Island) . As the name implies, there are variou

Lifestyle || Bloggers cookout party at samanthas Bistro

Image
What better way to enjoy the weekend than to go to a cookout party with fellow bloggers, networking, cooking and having the best afternoon. The cookout was hosted by  pulse.ng  ,  samanthasbistro  and  gourmet burger bar  . We were about 15 bloggers invited to this cookout party and we had chef dumebi (founder and  chief chef of samanthas bistro) and chef James to take us through the process of making our own burgers. So I got to the venue of the cookout party   ( samanthas bistro ) late and I met everyone playing a game called the burger twister, it's a game played in pairs ( a pair of 2 people ) and the result of the game decides the ingredients you get to use in making your own burger ( yes we all were going to make our burgers ourselves) .  I got paired with chef James and it was just hilarious  ( I wish I have a picture to show that part). Fast forward to the cook out proper, chef dumebi put everyone of us through on how to make burgers the samanthas way. The burg

EVENT || CREATIVITY AT SAO AND THE MUSE 3

Image
Recently I attended the Sao and the muse 3 event and all i can say is i was awed by the level of creativity showcased by young Nigerian artists who spend time in their own unique ways , creating art in it's many forms. Sao and the muse is an annual art event , a creative's haven with diverse medium and bodies of work . The event is currently in it's third year, and it was held from August 3 - 5th , at  Sao cafe, Lagos. It was my first time attending and I would say it's different from other art exhibitions I have been to. There was a relaxed atmosphere enabling guests not to only see art but engage with it. This year exhibition themed "Collaboration Era"  explores the power of artists eith diverse mediums coming together to create out of the box art,  and below are the exhibiting artists and their installations for this year's Sao and the muse. "ULO" by POPARTII  & JANE MICHEAL EKANEM Ulo is a post modern art installat
