Architects Of Liberation: Modernism In Western Africa
MoMA’s Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa looks at modern architecture as part of a broader political and cultural shift, tracing how newly independent nations used buildings to imagine public life beyond colonial rule.
Spanning work across Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo, the exhibition brings together drawings, models, archival photographs, new films, and commissioned images to revisit a period of intense architectural production, with particular attention to the first generation of trained African architects and the civic spaces, schools, housing, and cityscapes they helped shape.
