World premiere of HOUSE OF WAHALA , the art auction with artist (yours truly) as auctioneer.
HOUSE OF WAHALA translates from Nigerian pidgin to House of Trouble. We trouble the waters, go against the grain, and talk art, beauty, politics and more! Sound Artist Emeka Ogboh provides the evening’s soundtrack and there are special performances by Gabrielle Civil, Uchenna Itam, Gustavo Melo Cerqueira, and Lisa E. Harris. Artists receive a 90% commission on their work. The art auction is fun again.
