Live! U.Mi-1 Vol 2
13th Dec 2009 & 2nd Oct 2010
Live! U.Mi-1 Vol 2, held at the Little Saints Orphanage Lagos, sees the return of collaborating artist Megumi Matsubara with sound artist Emeka Ogboh. This workshop, the first of the second edition of the Live!U.Mi-1 program focuses on the art of Japanese shadow theatre, enacting the folklore "Tsuru no Ongaeshi".
Sponsored by the Japanese Foundation, Megumi visits Lagos for the first time and finally meets the children from the Orphanage who were introduced to her in Vol 1.
Live!U.Mi-1 is a cultural exchange program aimed at educating orphaned children in Japan and Nigeria through art workshops. Encouraging dialogue through art and giving the children a stimulating experience that can spur them to become future creatives is at the heart of the project. Each edition is made of two corresponding workshops, one in Lagos and one in Tokyo. Live!U.Mi-1 is non-profit.
