THE PRODUCERS
Art Mobile Lagos produced by illuminatetheater is a biennial cultural festival and experimental platform for contemporary artistic exchange. The first edition took place in 2020, marking the beginning of a project that transforms the city of Lagos into a moving constellation of artistic encounters. Every other year, Art Mobile Lagos creates temporary pop-up venues across different urban and communal sites; from markets to bus-stops, from open streets to waterfronts: establishing alternative spaces for creative dialogue that remain accessible to the public.
