About Agogo Arts and Nature Festival
Exploring the Artistic Wonders of AANF: Merging Nature and Creativity
Agogo Arts: Bridging Creativity and Nature
Agogo Arts and Nature Festival (AANF) connects artists, people and nature through original live music and artistic expressions by new, emerging and advanced artists in Nigeria and beyond.
We believe in the importance of bringing together the cultural and creative sectors with climate change and environmental professionals because art is a strong tool for exchanging and sharing information and climate awareness is a collective responsibility.
Art and science have been proven to work together for the good of humanity, and as such we can apply these sectors together also in working together for a healthier global ecology.
Our Festival is represented by the Agogo, a local musical instrument indigenous to Africa and her Diaspora, with influence across the world. We hope the vibrancy and call to action which this instrument brings, translates as a wake-up call to manifest our creative greatness, and take good care of our habitat.
