Iggy presenting new tv show

Happy to announce that Iggy will be hosting Showcase by TRT World this season

SHOWCASE: Keeping you up to beat with the latest on the global arts and culture scene.

TRT World’s flagship arts and culture programme airs on the weekdays and “Showcase Review” on the weekends covering prominent cultural and art events. Generally, coverage on culture and arts is mostly based on the western axis, but at Showcase we try to cover the east, the west, the north and the south. The programme covers a range of topics such as cinema, music, traditional arts, contemporary art, architecture, design and fashion.

IGGY hosted the black carpet for Urban November

Background

Urban November is an artistic collaboration primarily between some of the biggest names in the African and Turkish creative industry.

Since 2018, an art exhibition to celebrate and showcase their creative journey is held in Istanbul every November. The idea was conceived and brought to life by Akai Stephen and his Turkish business partner Ugur Bir. Both are architects by profession and have been working together for nearly a decade.

This year’s exhibition is themed around some of Nigeria’s gods and deities expressed on fabrics, glass, and illuminated by a golden dash of white light. The evolution of the female mind on canvas and the infinity murmurations of pigeons which, according to the artist, symbolizes the soul of Istanbul are just but a few on display.
