LagosPhoto Festival 2015 : Designing Futures

LagosPhoto Festival 2015 : Designing Futures
06 August 2015
The sixth edition of LagosPhoto Festival will take place from October 24 – November 27 2015.
This year’s theme, Designing Futures, positions the relationships between African design, the design of Africa and our understanding of how we may design Africa, as the platform to discuss our past, present and future intentions.
With history, circumstance and fantasy as significant pointers of the lens-based projects exhibited, Designing Futures highlights crucial aspects of ‘making’ that come into play in African signs and design dialogues.
The making of image, identity, desire, ecology, and even culture are explored through advertising, textiles, portraiture, factual and conceptual photography; these offer tangible and esoteric backdrops to how we process, navigate and inhabit the realms of a future Africa.
