REsearch Location and OUTcome

In order to gain access to different countries with their different internal cultural policies and human tolerance built on the knowledge, experience, and needs of local residents, we decided to spread this research into three similar locations in 6 cities in Africa (Lagos, Cairo, Johannesburg, Maputo, Nairobi and Yaoundé), organize happenings in public spaces varying from market places to malls, university surroundings to the beach, as well as the corners of the streets and other available spaces that could accommodate such manifestation. One important criteria we put into consideration is the possibility of balancing the gaps by making sure that our happenings travels from the locality of the low income earners to the rich quarters and also the young intellectual sects in the universities, in order to have a broader view of the level of acceptance of dance as a form of art in Africa. 

The outcome of this new vision research will certainly bring the culture sector in Africa some very positive attention in the aspect of the quality of audience we get, finance and our market structure if we succeed in getting maximum media coverage after the project’s Cinema premier and book launch that will be held alongside Ewa Bami’ jo, a three day summit that reunites series of cultural operators, Artistes, cultural financiers, journalists/Art critics, film makers, Writers and culture ministries in the commercial city of Nigeria. LAGOS, during the month of  August 2008 with the themed: "Home and Abroad".
