Nigeria is throwing its first sustainable recycling festival with American Idol winner Jordin Sparks as the headliner. The Artistic Pulse Festival goes down at Remembrance Arcade in Lagos, and it's bundled with the 11th annual Pan African Music Fashion Runway. NMO Management is running the whole thing, with backing from the Lagos State Ministry of Commerce and other groups. The fest connects music, fashion, film, food, art, and tech while pushing eco-friendly vibes.
The event aims to boost small businesses and creatives across the continent. There's a trade fair, workshops, debates, and a kids' zone happening. They're also doing the Game Changer Africa Acknowledgement awards to honor people making waves in creative industries. Past winners include Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and fashion designer Maki Oh.
The fashion runway part gets streamed live for global audiences, and they're doing model auditions through their Golden Break Through program. Two lucky contestants get to walk the runway and jumpstart their modeling careers.
