But why can’t art be work?

Many artists grew up being told, “Art won’t feed you.” So they buried it. Chose “serious careers.” Learned to suppress their most natural form of expression. This project is a rebellion against that — an open call to return to the things that made us feel alive before we were told to be practical.

What if joy, community, and creativity were enough?

This project questions a system where productivity is worshipped and rest is rationed. In Nigeria, like many places, you’re expected to work to five days and take two days to catch your breath. It’s not balanced. It’s not humane. And for creatives, in an economy where decent work is generally not enough to earn you a living, it’s especially suffocating.

A live flashmob performance in Lagos

The flashmob and documentary are not just performances — they’re collective rituals. A way to break the spell of constant doing, and remind people what it feels like to be present, connected, and expressive. To create without pressure. To gather without needing to prove anything.

This isn’t just about art. It’s about rewriting what a good life looks like. A life where you don’t have to abandon yourself to survive.
