Experience six African cities through the work of three extraordinary photographers.

This exhibition offers an in-depth look at three photographers who create powerful pictures of African cities: Cairo, Nairobi, Lagos, Johannesburg, Bamako, and Tombouctou. From Akinbode Akinbiyi's observation of urban centers and Seydou Camara's examination of Islamic manuscripts to Ananias Léki Dago's pictures of offbeat locales, the images in this exhibition offer unique perspectives on contemporary African experience.

#CreativeAfrica
