Join us for a studio visit to Lagos Studio Archives in Cable Factory, where Karl Ohiri and Riikka Kassinen will open their photographic archives consisting of thousands of film negatives documenting studio portraiture and vernacular photography from Lagos, Nigeria, from the 1970s to post millennium. The initiative collects and preserves the imagery of photographers that captured the style, humour and aspirations of everyday Lagosians, presenting their contributions to Nigerian photographic history.
