With ‘Connecting the Dots’ as its theme, all is set for this year’s edition of Artiste Crossroad Festival (ACF), which has, since its debut about seven years ago, emerged as a transformative cultural movement in the heart of Lagos.
Initiated by The Future of Dance Company in 2019, this annual week-long gathering transcends the boundaries of a typical arts festival, serving as a dynamic platform where different artistic disciplines converge.
“Connecting the Dots,” the theme of this year’s edition, scheduled to be held from April 14 to 20 in three venues in Lagos, emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding the complex historical relationship between Europe and Africa. By acknowledging the shared violent history of colonialism and exploitation, we can identify the interconnectedness of our past and present.
