British Council Nigeria
WaPI (Words and Pictures), a British Council forum that is a platform for visual and verbal artistes in the underground to showcase their art (in words and/or pictures).
We take the underground to mean the upcoming, the undiscovered, those who by design or default are not part of the mainstream.
We believe that the under...ground in Nigeria is a hotbed of activity and creativity and we aim to bring some of it to the fore through a regular WaPI programme.
WAPI is also a platform for young artists to use Words and Pictures to talk about and raise attention to issues of concern to them – social, political, economic – issues around social exclusion and freedom of information. Each WAPI event is themed, with all the art focusing around this theme.
Anyone who can showcase an item or performance that is relevant to the theme of the month is welcome to perform or exhibit at WaPI. A sampling of artistes includes: Poets, Fashion Designers, Emcees, Dancers, Graffiti Writers, Animators, Cartoonists / Comic Book Artist, Installation Artists, Painters, Singers, Acrobats, etc.
Entry to all WaPI events both for participants and the audience is free.
WAPI has held in Lagos monthly since July 2007.

Date: 19th January, 2008
