A Keresimesi in Sadboi Town

Freedom Park Gate Fee Applies
The event “A Keresimesi in Sadboi Town: Through the Looking Glass” finds inspiration in Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking-Glass.” It mirrors the complex journey from childhood innocence to adult realities, much like viewing an unfamiliar world through a mirror.
Our event reflects the contrasts of celebrating Christmas in Lagos, showing both the cheerful celebrations and the tough realities many faces during this time. Using artistic installations and a symbolic “looking glass/mirror,” we depict Nigerian Christmases of the past, present, and future, urging reflection like “A Christmas Carol.”
The central SADBOI “Looking Glass/Mirror” portrays both sides of Christmas: one bright and festive, the other revealing often ignored hardships. Beyond celebration, the event aims to prompt contemplation about the chaos and challenges experienced during the holiday season in Nigeria.
Ultimately, “A Keresimesi in Sadboi Town: Through the Looking Glass” aims to bridge the gap between the joyful appearance of Christmas and the deeper, less discussed realities, inviting attendees to reflect on the diverse aspects of the Christmas experience in Nigeria.
Join us on Saturday, 30th December, this year at Freedom Park Lagos, as we celebrate A Keresimesi of Reflections, featuring art exhibitions, music, snacks, storytelling, local artists, holiday spirit, and more.
Showtime from 2PM. You can follow on social media platforms @sadboiwrld and @freedomparklagos for updates.
