| Publisher Description: Embarking upon the first art + anthropology experiment, Yussef Agbo-Ola traveled throughout Nigeria to study human ecology. This research investigated how humans connect with diverse natural environments. He aimed to visually depict how the value of trade + belief systems differ in the lives of urban city dwellers compared to those inhabiting communities, with a less developed natural landscape. Applying an experimental approach to photographic journalism this archive of his journey is a frozen capsule of Nigerian culture from an artistic + anthropologic perspective. It shall serve as both a vista of cultural awareness and a catalyst for discovery. |
