Pictures from our 4 years celebration!


Taruwa Celebrated four years on the 30th of August 2011. It was  a double celebration, because we were also celebrating 100 shows! For those of you who do not know, Taruwa is an evening that celebrates art expressions. on a typical Taruwa, we have music, poetry, spoken word, monologues... very interesting stuff i tell you. we used to have it every other week, but we have now made it monthly.  It holds every last Tuesday of the month at Bogobiri House, No9, Maitama Sule off Awolowo road, 6:30pm, and the next one holds 27th September 2011! I'm quite certain you won't be missing it. 


The one person you won't be seeing in these pictures is Mr Dimbo Atiya (jostified@gmail.com) known to me as "Choks!" You won't see him because he was the eye behind the camera. Thanks Chokins!
