Arriving at Your Lagos Workshop

Lagos is well-served by various transport options. For those arriving by air, Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) is the primary gateway, with connections to numerous international and domestic destinations. From the airport, various taxi and ride-sharing services are readily available to transport you to your workshop location.

While Lagos does not have a comprehensive train network for intra-city travel in the same way some other global cities do, certain areas are connected by local rail services. However, for most attendees, road transport will be the primary method of reaching the workshop. Major roads like the Apapa Oshodi Expressway, Third Mainland Bridge, and Lekki-Epe Expressway connect different parts of the city. We recommend planning your journey during off-peak hours where possible to avoid significant traffic congestion.

For groups travelling by coach or multiple vehicles, we will advise on specific drop-off points and potential parking facilities near your chosen workshop venue. Public transport options like BRT buses and yellow minibuses (danfo) are prevalent, offering a local way to navigate the city, though workshop locations will be selected with ease of access in mind for all participants.

Local culture

Lagos's Urban Art Scene and Creativity

Lagos is a city where art thrives in many forms, often reflecting its vibrant street culture and diverse communities. While not globally renowned specifically for its graffiti scene, the city does possess a rich tapestry of murals and public art that tell local stories and add colour to urban spaces. You will find examples of large-scale paintings adorning walls, particularly in areas undergoing revitalisation or community art projects.

These murals often depict scenes of Nigerian life, cultural symbols, or abstract designs, contributing to the visual landscape of Lagos. The creative energy is palpable in districts like Yaba, which is home to various artistic endeavours and educational institutions. This environment makes Lagos a fertile ground for exploring street art, providing an authentic backdrop for a graffiti workshop. Our workshops aim to connect participants with this local spirit of creativity, encouraging them to contribute their own artistic voice within this dynamic urban context.
