As part of Design Week Lagos 2025, international superstar and Grammy Award-winning artist Ciara Princess Wilson was warmly received by the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, alongside other notable figures in the Lagos creative scene. The event took place at the J.Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History and the Nike Art Gallery on Thursday, October 30th, 2025, where Ciara immersed herself in the rich artistic and cultural expressions that define Lagos as Africa’s cultural capital.

Ciara’s visit underscored Lagos’ growing reputation as a global hub for art, fashion, and creativity. At the J.Randle Centre, she explored exhibits showcasing the vibrancy of Yoruba history, dance, and storytelling  engaging deeply with cultural custodians who preserve these traditions.

Her presence highlighted the synergy between African heritage and contemporary art, a theme central to Design Week Lagos, which continues to bridge local creativity with international recognition.

Ciara’s visit is expected to inspire more members of the Nigerian diaspora and international community to reconnect with their roots by exploring Lagos’ thriving cultural landscape. Her engagement reflects a broader movement encouraging Africans in the diaspora to rediscover their heritage and contribute to the continent’s creative and tourism industries

As Lagos continues to evolve into a global design destination, visits like Ciara’s further reinforce the city’s position as a vibrant intersection of culture, creativity, and connection.
