3 Day National Summit on Culture and Tourism (Abuja 27-29 April 2016)
The theme of the summit which takes place in Abuja at the Transcorp Hilton, is ‘’Re-positioning Culture and Tourism in a Diversified Economy'', comes in timely considering the need for the country to identify other sources of economic advancement. To get a bigger glimpse of the picture, we can glean from guardian.ng:
''those who have followed the minister’s sectoral meetings with stakeholders in the last few weeks would agree it was necessary, considering government’s ‘loud silence’ on National Theatre sale, the destruction of Artistes’ Village, the National Endowment Fund for the Arts and the National Policy on Culture.
The minister, while declaring open a working session between the Ministry of Information and Culture and the British Council on the planned collaboration between the two, said, “a major plank of this administration’s policy is the diversification of the economy away from oil. To further this agenda, we in the Ministry of Information and Culture have been putting in place measures to fast track the diversification agenda in the culture and tourism sectors.”
He added, “one of such measures is to critically assess veritable avenues of using culture to drive tourism in order to achieve a significant boost in the vast tourism potentials of the country."
Pop up gallery, Enigma Art Collective presents COLOUR.ISM, an exhibition set to open on April 28th, which brings on the centre stage, the problems of colour and identity.
According to the organisers, the meaning of COLOUR.ISM is the discrimination of human beings based on their skin colour and pigment. This exhibition looks at the lives of those human beings in our society who live without skin pigmentation- Albinos.
COLOUR.ISM evolved from a thirst to give a voice to the dismissed, presenting a stage for dialogue. By focusing our creative energy on moulding a social commentary with our audience, we gave this exhibition the content to create an emotional and ethereal experience.
