By Ayodeji RotinwA Foluke Abdulrasaq’s profile overflows with accomplishments. The consummate corporate amazon turned 60 recently and celebrated it with friends and family members including her colleagues on the board of United Bank for Africa, where she is a Non-Executive Director. Mrs Abdulrasaq who was a two-time former Lagos State Commissioner and Executive Chairman of defunct Credite Bank Nigeria Limited, puts God first in everything she does. Her birthday celebration began with a prayer session, special lecture and foundation laying ceremony for an ultra-modern praying centre at the NASFAT Eti-Osa Mosque and Islamic Centre, Lekki Lagos. Guests later moved to Bridge House College at Osborne Foreshore, Phase II, Ikoyi for a warm and colourful reception.
By Ayodeji RotinwA ALARA Art on Thursday 19th May, 2016 unveiled ‘Down The Rabbit Hole’, a conceptual installation of light and photography by Logo Oluwamuyiwa “Logor” Adeyemi, featuring excerpts from his widely acclaimed ‘Monochrome Lagos’ and other works. Logor’s first major project, ‘Monochrome Lagos’, is a unique reflection on the city of Lagos that strips down the noisy colours of the busy metropolis. The works are a visual digital archive, a unique reflection on an old city, and an extraordinary exposė of its idiosyncrasies and aesthetics. Down the Rabbit Hole achieves a true paradigm shift in how the city is presented and appreciated by a global audience, including local residents who typically rush past the unchanging beauty of this old town. Down the Rabbit Hole is Logor’s maiden exhibition with ALARA Art and doubles as the debut exhibition in the‘ALARA Emerging Artists’series. The exhibition opens to the public on Friday 20th May and runs until Saturday 18th June 2016.
