Lagos Photo project is an annual photography festival organised by African Artists’ Foundation as part of an on-going project designed to use art in Public Spaces as a medium for increasing societal awareness.
The first photography festival of its kind in Nigeria, the Lagos Photo project 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.
The inaugural edition of the Lagos Photo festival held from the middle of September 2010 to the end of October 2010, leveraging on Nigeria’s golden jubilee celebrations in order to truly make a significant impact on our society. The theme was “No Judgement: Africa Under the Prism”
The scheduled activities included workshops for children, classes for professional artists, art fairs, and a series of indoor and outdoor exhibitions that ran simultaneously throughout the duration of the event.
In 2011, the 2nd edition of the Lagos Photo project (Lagos Photo Festival) tagged, “What’s Next Africa?-The Hidden Stories” held in the month of October. The 2011 edition of LP attracted showcased works from photographers worldwide (including Nigeria). The somewhat month long festival kicked off with a grand opening exhibition on the 8th of October, 2011 at the Escalator entrance of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos with other activities – amateur photography competition, workshops, profile reviews, photo walks and the most attractive and 2 days of fun event, the “Party in the Park” at the Muri Okunola Park. Although Day 1’s fun at the “Party in the Park” was marred by a heavy down pour of rain, Day 2 made up for it and everyone had so much fun under the sun.
