I pose critical questions about how visual and performance texts enhance our understanding of the historical and discursive construction of activism among Nigerian youth. My research emphasizes the role of artistic expressions\u2014such as dance, music, and social media\u2014in shaping socio-political narratives and fostering cultural resistance. Through my first visit to the Fela Shrine, a significant cultural venue, I highlight the interplay between performance and activism, examining how dance serves as a medium for political expression and collective identity among youth. Ultimately, I hope comprehend the impact and the complexities of urban life in contemporary Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 16, 2024 | 4 PM Helen C.
