CCA Lagos supported by 193 Gallery proudly present the multidisciplinary project 'Passengers in Transit,' inspired by Angolan writer Jose Eduardo Agualusa's short stories.
The exhibition explores the challenges of being a foreigner in a global society, delving into individual and collective experiences amidst contemporary issues like discrimination, global warming, and war. Through the lens of diverse artists such as Joana Choumali, April Bey, Thandiwe Muriu, Christa David, and Euridice Zaituna Kala, the project invites reflection on identity, gender, memory, and place, fostering a dialogue on the complexities of human differences and the universal quest for self-awareness.
