Spirit of Lagos: Curator-Led Tour

About

Abi Morocco Photos: Spirit of Lagos is the first exhibition unearthing the story of Abi Morocco Photos, one of the most vibrant photographic studios operating in Lagos, Nigeria. Run by husband-and-wife duo John Abe and Funmilayo Abe from the 1970s to 2006, the studio became known for their versatility and dynamic portraiture, popular for many people around Lagos wanting to capture a variety of moments in their lives.

Co-curators of the exhibition, Lagos Studio Archives, will discuss their ongoing work in preserving works from the studio. They will select a range of works to expand on the history and legacy of the archive. Book tickets and find out more on Autograph's website.

The tour will start promptly at 6:30pm in Gallery 1 and attendees are encouraged to engage and ask questions throughout the tour. To ensure the best experience, this event has a limited number of tickets available.
