In its effort to broaden and deepen the knowledge of Africa of herself, both historically and contemporaneously, always within the context of Recall and Celebration, the LAGOS BLACK HERITAGE FESTIVAL has embarked upon to no less a concept than the mapping out of the Black African Presence in the Mediterranean under the theme: BLACK MEDITERRANEAN. This will run in a series, year after year, radiating outwards from each selected Mediterranean country towards both the African continent and the Diaspora, and back into the Mediterranean cultural actualities. LBHF 2012 will launch the series with a cultural exploration of – The ITALIAN CONNECTION.
Inspired by the spirit of convergence for which Lagos remains pre-eminent, the Lagos Black Heritage Festival celebrates African creativity within a carnivalesque of traditional and contemporary Dance, Music, Painting and Photo Exposition, Drama, Design and Fashion Display, an International Symposium, Film and Video Fiesta and other artistic and intellectual offerings, both inter-state and international. In a seven-day cultural manifestation during which hundreds of performers will animate the ancient city of Badagry and cosmopolitan Lagos with a passage of the traditional and the modern, Lagos State will welcome thousands of visitors with a feast to engage the mind, entrance the senses and linger in the memory for years to come.
