Inspiration Poem: The City Holds Our Colors

Artwork Description

This vibrant collage captures the pulse of Lagos through bold colour, rhythmic composition, and symbols that define the city’s collective spirit. The National Theatre, the iconic yellow danfo, and the joyful figure in traditional attire come together as touchstones of creativity, resilience, and everyday celebration. Blending geometric African patterns with contemporary visual language, the piece reflects a culture that is constantly evolving yet deeply rooted in its heritage. It embodies the movement, joy, and communal pride that shape the heartbeat of Nigerian city life—perfectly echoing the festival’s vision of colour, freedom, and the future we are creating together.
