Founded by the African Artists' Foundation in 2010, this month-long event biennially celebrates both emerging and established photographers through photography installations, large-scale outdoor prints, exhibitions, workshops and talks. This thought-provoking exhibition brings together artists from across the African continent and the diaspora, alongside a selection of international practitioners, who are part of the LagosPhoto Festival network. Their works explore ideas of borders, memory, belonging, and the unseen forces shaping human movement. Through diverse photographic practices, the featured works question who can move freely, whose stories gain visibility, and how photography might resist reductive narratives. Like the Festival, this exhibition will not be contained to the Djanogly Gallery. Visitors are encouraged to discover outdoors works around Lakeside and across University Park campus. Presented in collaboration with the Sustainable Travel and Tourism Advanced Research Centre (STTAR Centre) the exhibition invites audiences to rethink travel and tourism in the light of socio-cultural, economic, environmental and political inequalities in access and representation.
