In the streets of Abuja during the #EndSARS protests that garnered global recognition, art became my loudest weapon. Here, I led a protest, a satirical performance that lampooned bad governance, exposed political ineptitude, and gave voice to a generation demanding change.
Kneeling with a banner in the streets of Abuja, we became both performer and protester, where we confronted the state with art. This moment was theĀ aftermath of a satirical performance staged during the #EndSARS movement, a creative rebellion against state violence. Surrounded by fellow artists and activists.
