Entertainment Events this September

The year is coming to a quick end. At this point most of us are already planning for the impending excitement of December. To keep you stimulated, we’ve compiled a short list of events that might be worth your time this September.

Priceless – A Solo Art Exhibition

Nike Art Gallery

Yusuf Durodola is a painter and performance artist. He has more than 10 years of experience in the Nigerian art space, and he has been exhibited at a number of locations all over the country. Last September, he performed Ohun Etutu at the School of Art, Design and Printing, Yaba College of Technology, Lagos. Ohun Etutu is a symbolic reminder of society’s relative and collective responsibility to itself- the part that we all have to play, and the impact that each of us has on everyone else.

The conversation continues at his solo art show this month titled Priceless. The exhibition will hold at the Nike Art Gallery on the 14th of September. The theme is an exploration of ideas in individual responsibility, human value, and elements of social cohesion. 

Coffee, Books and Art

Finding Adaora is a vibrant play that explores the misconceptions and struggles of self-discovery, emancipation and identity. A British-Nigerian woman goes back to Nigeria hoping to connect with something that will reveal more about who she is to her, but her experiences in Nigeria teach her that identity is about far more than what she thought it was. The play revolves around her peculiar adventures with Udoka, a Nigerian driver, and his bogus sidekick, Emem.

Finding Adaora is a stage play by Roli Ukwu and Segun Michaels. The play will be performed on Friday, the 6th of September in Asokoro, Abuja at the Mediterranean Club on 1141 Kwame Nkurumah Crescent. Tickets will cost N3000 for adults and N1500 for kids.
