AFRICA SHOW & TELL

With Quincy, & Olubode

Stories, Objects & Sounds From the Road Across Africa.

From Kigali to Accra, Benin to Côte d’Ivoire, Nairobi to Lagos, we have been moving through festivals, beaches, galleries, homes, ceremonies and cities—collecting experiences, questions, beauty and friendships along the way.

Join us for a relaxed backyard evening of:

• Photography & slide presentation

• African fashion, textiles & objects

• Music & conversation

• Q&A and storytelling

• Lite bites, fruits, wine & juices

It is a gathering.

A chance to connect, ask questions, share ideas, and experience a different rhythm together.
