There are many readers in Lagos.
Yes o, many.
Numerous sef.
On any given day, on multiple street corners, in varied contexts, you can spy many Lagosians
reading.
Books, newspapers, phones, and bibles no less!
Yet, sadly, there lies an absurd assumption that Lagosians do not read.
Library on the Go, in collaboration with Hassan Abiodun, a Lagos based photographer, is a photo series which celebrates the under-acknowledged readers of Lagos. These are not big scholars, or professors, or business magnates or even renowned book critics.
The images in this collection are those of everyday readers in Lagos.
Through this series, the photographer asks questions such as:
- what are your reading habits?
- where is your preferred
- why do you read?
