Rara Avis Endorsement

Rara Avis is known for fostering and encouraging collaboration between emerging and debutant creatives. We believe that it is one of the best strategies for creative growth. Cross-peer networking is one of the focal ways creatives can support each others’ craft and build a formidable brand. Rara Avis endorses this event by the multi-hyphenated Arsh ABG, who doubles as a photographer and creative entrepreneur. Her sound is unique and tilts towards melancholia but with some upbeat afrobeats balance.

Birthday Celebration and Activities

The event is slated for May 16TH 2025, which intentionally falls on Arsh ABG’s birthday to mark both events.

Activities lined up include games, artist performance, food, dance and more. It starts at 11PM at an undisclosed location at Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. It promises to be an unforgettable and very electrifying experience especially with the calibre of artists in the lineup.
