#NECLive is entering year three and I am – understandably – beyond excited.

The exhibition will be showcasing the works of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated painters, Zinno Orara, in dedication to his Wife, Adaora-Zinno Orara, who is […]
My mom never really liked Zinno Orara. She liked the artist, his works, just like everyone else. But the man? ‘That boy is a braggart’, she would say, as music blasted from Bro Zinno’s Volvo. Often Lucky Dube; almost always reggae or soul. But as he rolled up his windows and stepped out of the […]
