Creativity, culture and youth expression took centre stage on Saturday as UR4Africa Project, hosted the live segment of its three-day exhibition and fundraising event at ARTLab Gallery, GRA Ikeja, Lagos, with the theme, “African Futurism.”
UR4Africa, a Pan-African social enterprise and media organisation, is focused on empowering young Nigerians through arts, media, and design education.
The exhibition, which runs from June 12 to 14, brings together artists, performers, educators, and cultural advocates in support of expanding arts education in public schools. Proceeds from the exhibition are expected to fund creative learning programmes for young people in underserved communities.
The event attracted notable guests, including human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Funmi Falana, alongside stakeholders in education, the arts, and youth development.
Saturday’s programme featured a vibrant mix of visual art displays and live performances, including music, dance, poetry, and drama, transforming the gallery into a dynamic stage for contemporary African expression. Guests also engaged in interactive activities, including a light-hearted word challenge that sparked laughter and audience participation.
