Celebrate Nigerian Independence day with MoCADA + African Film Festival!!!

Join Us for a special outdoor screening of Elder’s Corner, October 2 @ 6:30pm at the corner of S. Portland Avenue + Hanson Place (outside of MoCADA).

From the colorful, celebratory sounds of Juju music to the politicized urgency of Afrobeat, Nigerian musicians have spearheaded some of Africa’s most prominent musical movements. Oftentimes, their work formed the backdrop against which the nation blossomed and floundered. So what happened to these pioneering artists who rose to prominence during the country’s halcyon years – and continued to endure when it faltered?

Elder’s Corner, a film directed by Siji Awoyinka, is a voyage of return and discovery, an epic tale of survival and the undeniable power of music to reconnect the past to the present.

Watch the trailer and RSVP below. Please RSVP to reserve your seat. Seating is limited.
