THE IDEAL IN IDEAS: THE MBARI UNO STORY

‘The Ideal In Ideas’ is a short documentary of a young Nigerian going against the odds to set up a truly innovative multidisciplinary design hub; Mbari Uno (House Of Collaboration). This comes at a time the yearning for local content, ideas, goods and services are rife and there’s an urgent need to develop spaces that will propel Africa into a knowledge based economy.

The Hub is a prime point of innovation for design professionals, practitioners and design enthusiasts. It offers Co-working spaces, a Training Room, a Multimedia Studio (photography, videography and recording), a grill-based Bistro, Lounge and Exhibition spaces.

This documentary was created by the Nigerian Television Authority(NTA) and funded by the Africa Union of Broadcasting (AUB). It won Nigeria the 1st (Gold Award) prize in the 2019 AUB Awards held in Marrakech, Morocco.
