Stock Club. 3.0: Funmilade Taiwo (FT) x Seyi Akinlade (UAX)
After two sold-out editions and a short hiatus, Stock Club is back.
For this chapter, we bring together two longtime friends and collaborators—Funmilade Taiwo (Lamuren) and Seyi Akinlade (UAX)—for a one-night-only immersive dinner experience.
Titled “Echoes of Us”, this evening explores growth, identity, and community through food, music, and visual storytelling. FT and UAX met in their first year of university, lived together for three years, and have now shared over 14 years of friendship and creative evolution. Together, they’ll weave their individual practices, contemporary Nigerian cuisine and cinematic sound/visual design, into an evening that blurs boundaries between a dinner, a performance, and a memory.
Expect a slowed-down, intimate atmosphere where each course and performance layers a story: love and hustle, nourishment and rest, escape and connection. The food and music are reimagined through a global, Nigerian lens—world-class, thoughtful, and deeply personal.
Guests will walk away with more than a meal: a memory of rare connection, curiosity sparked, and a renewed sense of pride in Nigerian creativity.
