Playback Nigeria

Playback Nigeria is committed to using interactive art for healing, psychosocial support, community interaction, enhancement, development, and capacity building. To us, art is not just a medium of entertainment; it has the healing ability to transform individuals, build communities and change the world. In fact, it plays a unique role in global matters such as climate change, women empowerment, sexual reproductive health, water sanitation and hygiene, terrorism and war, education, and other developmental issues.
Our interventions cover a wide range of sectors such as transitional justice, human rights, refugee and immigrant support, disaster recovery, climate change, conflict resolution, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), good governance, and development.
