The city of Lagos is becoming a one-stop portal for multimedia art in Africa. It can be likened to an intense creative geographic space that revitalizes Africa’s huge cultural asset. As noted, the city embraces multiculturalism as an insatiable infiniteness that defines its identity. How else can the multiplicity of visual languages that exact the poetics of this expressionistic city be defined? The resulting art centres, artistic/cultural gatherings and initiatives, artists/writers collectives, construction, design and world acclaimed entertainment and services industries all add to the menu of experiences that define and enable a catalytic change within and beyond Lagos.
Big 60 is an annual programme run by A White Space, starting from the 6th December 2013 – 31st January 2014.This years event will feature the International Video Art Festival Lagos from the 12th December onwards. The screening features work from around Africa, South East Asia and Europe, and will influence the menus in order to reflect these parts of the world through not only sight and sound but also taste, touch and smell.
