The North meets North project brought Hausa and Scottish musicians together to showcase and share their different traditional musical styles and instruments. The project has now been renamed Arewa.
Reel Dialogues seeks to provide a training and production environment which encourages dialogue between filmmakers in Northern Nigeria and the UK, supports the development of the Hausa film industry and produces films that express the Hausa culture accurately and creatively to a national and international audience.
