Taking its title from the distinguished photographer Akinbode Akinbiyi’s long-term photographic series initiated in 1982, Sea Never Dry sensitively chronicles the rhythms of life at Lagos’s historic Bar Beach.

Computer Village borrows its title from one of Africa’s largest technology markets and an unofficial processing center for global electronic waste. It transforms discarded electronics into a ghostly chorus of industrial ruin.
