Zebra Living presents The Dikko Chronicles
You are cordially invited to join us as Zebra Living
presents The Dikko Chronicles.
This retrospective capsule collection of classic vintage
Zebra dress staples we all know and love comes to life in iconic bold African
wax prints, colourful vintage laces and retro painterly
textures. In a kaleidoscopic explosion of colour and prints, The Dikko
Chronicles is a visual representation of the Zebra brand origin and ethos -
timeless, funky, happy and African.
A vibrant installation of Zebra's new Mara Home
collection shall also be exhibited. For half a decade, Zebra's creative
director, Ugoma Adegoke, has recycled fabrics and notions from her fashion
projects to create rustic, collectible accent furniture pieces that now have
morphed into an identity of their own attracting a cult following of
art-loving, design-conscious and functional decorators and buyers.
This will be the first public showcase of Zebra's Home
Collection.
The Dikko Chronicles and Mara Home Exhibition by Zebra
Living takes place at White Space, 58 Raymond Njoku Street, Off Awolowo Road,
SW Ikoyi.
On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th November 2012

CARTOON AFRICA AT WHITESPACE
CAIB2012 Press Release:
NIGERIA HOSTS CARTOON AFRICA INTL BIENNIAL
On the 23rd of November, 2012, at WHITE
SPACE, 58 Raymond Njoku Street, Off Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State, the first
ever Cartoon Africa International Biennial (CAIB) festival and exhibition will
open for the global public, with the central theme: “UNITED STATES OF AFRICA:
Matters Arising”.
The
novel cartoon art event which is collaboratively put together by the African
Press Cartoon Syndication Services, FICDATA and the BFIKBK is a multi-purpose,
all-inclusive development education platform to drive innovation, productivity
and sustainable development in the African continent, while promoting cultural
diversity and African cartooning culture in a global context.
A press release by the organisers reads: ““Art
is a universal lingua franca and the adage that a picture is worth a thousand
words is not far-fetched: ‘One image can communicate more than dozens of pages
of text or hours of speeches. One image can change the course of history.
Editorial cartoons draw attention to important political, economic, and social
issues like nothing else. Using symbols or visual metaphors, their reach
transcends country borders and language barriers’”.
The CAIB2012 event will feature, among
other things, presentation of certificates to all participants and prizes to
the winners in each category of the biennial festival contest as well as
cartoon workshop/paper presentations, fund-raising art and merchandise sales,
etc.
“We are deploying cartoons and humour Art
in general, as a creative education strategy to draw attention, fight societal
evils, and spread awareness and inspire positive actions across Africa for
progressive change of perspectives, retrogressive habits and the negative
systemic status quo precluding sustainable development, and to drive
productivity, equity, moral capital development and innovative human/cultural
resources development across Africa in a global context. CAIB strategically
aims at creating a strong platform to effectively promote African Cartooning,
graphic communication and visual literature with an attitude” the statement
said.
Follow-up travelling exhibitions, cartoon
workshops and seminars, fund-raising Art auctions, merchandise sales etc, kicks
off at the National Museum in Benin City, Edo State, home of the CAIB vision,
on December 23rd 2012 and is expected to tour selected cities and towns across
Nigeria and Parts of Africa, etc, spreading awareness, informing, educating and
reorienting the public till December 2013 when the 2nd edition of the cartoon
biennial is due.
