ITAN EKO MI
Lyno World is set to showcase and celebrate the
contemporary Lagos culture through an online exhibition coming up in the last
quarter of 2019 for no fewer than 100 participants tagged ‘Itan Eko Mi’.
‘Itan Eko Mi’
which loosely translates to ‘My Lagos Story’ strives to document the
metamorphosing contemporary culture of Lagos city metropolis and its people.
We have
chosen Lagos for this project due to its peculiar culture and uniqueness. Lagos
evidently has been a source of inspiration to a sizeable number of art
practitioners across all fields. Exploring the expressive links connecting the
works of poets, painters and photographers living in Lagos would help bring
about inclusive, thoughtful and highly creative pieces. We really want to
exhibit the perspectives of the creative’s and how they are documenting their
Lagos experience.
We are
calling on prospective exhibitors to take advantage of this project to showcase
the originality of their works to the world.
