Attention: Our first KAPFEST Slam Champion is returning home! 🎊

Join us this Saturday to experience the one and only Faisal Ahmad Smith, popularly known as Smith of Words.

A Nigerian poet, spoken word artist, entrepreneur, and law graduate of the University of Jos, Faisal is the co-founder of the Artivism for Humanity Initiative, an organization that deploys artistic expression as a tool for social advocacy and change.

If you were there when he won the inaugural KAPFEST Poetry Slam, then you already know what he's capable of. If you weren't, here's your chance to find out.
He is bringing back the same fire, passion, and stage presence that earned him the Mudi Spikin Poetry Slam crown, and he's ready to set the stage ablaze once again for your listening pleasure. 🔥

Come home to poetry. Come home to KAPFEST.
Grab your ticket today and join us this Saturday

By a show of hands, how many of you were at .0? 🙋🏽‍♀️

If you were, then you probably remember Hafsat, who welcomed His Highness, the Emir of Kano to the KAPFEST stage with poetic grace.

Hafsat is a socially conscious artist, creative altruist, artvocate, and SDGs Champion whose work sits at the intersection of art, advocacy, and community transformation.

The last time she graced a KAPFEST stage, she left a lasting impression. This Saturday, you'll get to experience her artistry in full.

Come and witness the magic for yourself.

Abdulaziz Mujahid will be performing at 🎊👏🏽

Although Mujahid is a Nigerian architect, photographer, poet, and multidisciplinary creative, his poems have us convinced he might just be the most romantic man in Arewa 😉.

He is also the co-founder of Zaure.com, a cultural storytelling platform dedicated to meaningful narratives and creative expression.

Join us this Saturday and experience his poetry live. Trust us, you'll want to hear these poems from the man himself. ✨.
