A Conversation with Dr King SMADE: MadHouse & University of Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria · 2026 · 2026

Context

I worked with MadHouse and the University of Lagos to deliver A Conversation with Dr King SMADE, bringing the visit into a local creative and university setting.

My role

Relationship Management · Engagement Coordination

  • Worked with MadHouse and the University of Lagos on the engagement.
  • Connected the visit with the local creative and university community.
  • Managed relationships and coordination around the visit.

The purpose

A local creative connection

A Conversation with Dr King SMADE was delivered through work with MadHouse and the University of Lagos. It formed the mission’s connection with the local creative and university community.

My role

Relationships into delivery

I worked with MadHouse and the University of Lagos on the engagement, connecting the visit with the people and setting around it. Dr King SMADE was the invited speaker and cultural leader; my contribution was the relationship and coordination work.

The visit

Arrival, art and conversation

The supplied OBITIVISUALS collection shows arrival at MadHouse, conversations outside and a visit through the gallery. The video moves from the creative setting and artwork to speakers addressing the room, including Dr King SMADE in a seated conversation. These materials document the visit without establishing an attendance total, detailed talk programme or subsequent agreements.

Impact
