We own the entire night — from site-specific promenade theatre and floating slum festivals to cross-border cultural direction across the UK, Nigeria, and Zambia.
From raw site-specific promenade staging in historic botanical gardens to waterborne pontoon festivals in floating communities.
Black & White Craft is an independent live event production agency and cultural curation studio operating across the UK, Nigeria, and Zambia.

Artistic Director and Lead Cultural Producer specializing in socially engaged live arts, site-specific promenade theatre, and community slum activations across the UK, West Africa, and East Africa. Holding an MSc in Financial Management from Sheffield Hallam University, Opeyemi combines rigorous economic governance with visceral theatrical staging.
Directing signature productions including A Day in Colonial Garden, The Makoko Creative Talent Awards, and Black History Month: The Unseen Narrative, Farimoyo champions peripheral narratives and creates sovereign platforms for marginalized talent.
Clear answers on our site-specific theatre methods, slum/market staging, fiscal risk management, and international operations.
We work across five core disciplines: site-specific & promenade theatre, socially engaged art (SEA) curation, cross-continental creative direction, creative mentorship & arts advocacy, and stage & technical production — all under Artistic Director Opeyemi Farimoyo, delivered across the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Zambia.
Whether building waterborne pontoon decks in Makoko slum or routing moving promenade audiences through Grade-listed botanical glasshouses, our technical directors design bespoke structural and acoustic solutions, deploy wireless RF and spatial acoustic delay systems, manage environmental health & safety risk assessments (RAMS), and secure all municipal permits.
Our Socially Engaged Art (SEA) Curation and Creative Mentorship & Arts Advocacy work treats community members as sovereign co-creators rather than subjects. In projects like The Marketplace Monologues and Makoko Creative Talent Awards, we provide direct micro-grants, stagecraft mentorship, and creative workshops, ensuring economic and artistic equity.
Our Stage & Technical Production discipline covers audio engineering, atmospheric lighting, modular deck staging, and temporary rigging — backed by Lead Producer Opeyemi Farimoyo's MSc in Financial Management from Sheffield Hallam University, giving every production institutional-grade fiscal governance, multi-currency budget transparency, and protection against FX fluctuations and cost overruns.
