Making use of readily available public spaces, the Lagos Photo project aims to establish a community for contemporary photography that will unite, in the city of Lagos, local and international artists, through images that encapsulate individual experiences and identities from across all of Africa. The project aims to use the power of photography to address and make visible important social issues in Africa as well as capture the essence of Lagos state from a holistic and historical perspective. It featured images from renowned international artists as well as images from Nigeria’s finest and emerging photographers.– LAGOS PHOTO
LAGOS PHOTO is interesting, conceptually smart and very inviting. It would be a fantastic opportunity to do it in all the capital cities of Africa. With so many photographers involved, the interpretations would be endless! It would give an opportunity for an audience to create their own meanings for the capital city and see the capital city in a new light!
