Lagos, Nigeria Is Finally Arriving As Africa’s New Art Destination

“This enormous city — with no official census, population estimates range from 13 million to 21 million — is dynamic by disposition. … Lagosians — who are proud of their ‘hustle,’ a mix of effort, imagination, and brash optimism — will turn any challenge into enterprise. Commerce, music, fashion, have long thrived amid the chaos. And now, with its solid collector base and thickening web of galleries and alternative spaces, the art ‘ecosystem’ — the word everyone uses — is achieving critical mass.” — The New York Times
