Description:

Launched in 2010, Lagos Photo is the first international arts festival  of photography in Nigeria. In a month-long festival, events include exhibitions, workshops, artist presentations, discussions, and large scale outdoor prints displayed throughout the city with the aim of reclaiming  public spaces and engaging the general public with multifaceted stories of  Africa. Lagos Photo aims to establish a community for contemporary photography which will unite local and international artists through images that encapsulate individual experiences and identities from across all of Africa. Lagos Photo presents and educates about photography as it is embodied in the exploration of historical and contemporary issues, the sharing of cultural  practices, and the promotion of social programmes.
