Some promises are made in passing. This one we carried with intention.
The call to celebrate and institutionalise the Gele has now been answered.
To Gele artists,the real custodians of this craft: you were seen, you were celebrated, and you will always have a seat at this table.
Thank you, Lagos! 🙏🏾
You came. You tied it high. You wore it proud.
