LAST DAY IN LAGOS, by Marilyn Nance Two young women hold the keen gaze of the photographer with equal intensity; a woman clasps a man's hand and he greets her with a coy, perhaps shy, tilt of his head.There's a timelessness to the black-and-white photos in Last Day in Lagos, unpublished until now.The first few images emerge like frames from a film long forgotten, rendering legible the everyday experiences of Black people specifically, the 17,000 Black artists and musicians who in 1977 made their way to Lagos, Nigeria, for FESTAC '77, a monthlong Pan-African celebration of Blackness in its many forms.
