Rele Gallery is pleased to announce its first reading, featuring award winning writer, poet and journalist, Toni Kan reading alongside, award winning artist, photographer and writer, Victor Ehikhamenor on Sunday August 9, 2015.

In a statement announcing the event, Adenrele Sonariwo who runs Rele gallery, said “Toni and Victor are very recognizable as a tag team by the Lagos literary and artistic community but this is the first time the two friends will be reading together even though they collaborated on an art exhibition two years ago, which we were privileged to have curated. The reading will provide guests a handle on their works as well as a unique window into their creative processes in an open and highly interactive space.”
Toni Kan who publishes sabinews.com is the author of Nights of the Creaking Bed, When A Dream Lingers Too Long, and Ballad of Rage; while Victor Ehikhamenor who is the author of Sordid Ritual and Excuse Me, is a well traveled and garlanded artist.
