who we are
About us
Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) is a multicultural and multifaceted theatre, film, and event management association dedicated to celebrating African culture on a global stage. Through our creative productions, cultural events, and charitable initiatives, we foster creativity, unity, and a deeper appreciation for African heritage.
OUR EXPERTISE
Our expertise lies in organizing and managing events, festivals, and cultural showcases that bring communities together. These events provide a platform for celebrating African traditions, fostering inclusion, and creating meaningful connections. By blending cultural storytelling with professional event management, we offer immersive experiences that entertain, educate, and inspire. Our vibrant events are designed to highlight the richness of African culture while addressing important cultural and social issues.
In addition to our event management endeavors, TAMPAN is a powerhouse in film and theatre production. We tell compelling stories that reflect African values and traditions, delivering them through multiple platforms, including cinemas, stage performances, and digital media. Our films are not just entertainment; they are tools for education and empowerment, sparking conversations that inspire the younger generation to embrace their heritage while thinking critically about the world around them.
A significant portion of our profits is dedicated to supporting homeless elderly thespians who have been forgotten by the modern audience. These talented individuals, who once brought joy to so many through their artistry, have often been stripped of their opportunity to do what they love most—filmmaking. At TAMPAN, we strive to give them back their spotlight by providing the resources and platforms they need to continue their craft.
We believe in honoring their legacy, ensuring they can share their stories and passion for film with the world once again. The remaining profits are reinvested into our business to scale up our efforts—creating bigger events, more impactful cultural festivals, and engaging productions that amplify our mission. This reinvestment allows us to reach larger audiences, support more initiatives, and continue empowering those in need while celebrating African culture.
Our commitment to preserving and promoting African heritage extends to empowering the next generation through educational initiatives. Whether it’s through workshops, storytelling, or youth-focused events, we strive to instill pride, creativity, and a strong sense of identity in young people. By fostering collaboration and building international partnerships, TAMPAN bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, ensuring that African culture thrives on a global stage.
