CARA presents the launch of 'Marilyn Nance: Last Day in Lagos'

Saturday, October 1 at 12 PM, The Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) presents the launch of Marilyn Nance: Last Day in Lagos—a focused study on the singular African American photographer through an archival encounter with her documentation of the landmark FESTAC’77 festival.

While serving as the photographer for the US contingent of the North American delegation, Brooklyn-based photographer Marilyn Nance made more than 1,500 images throughout the course of the festival—one of the most comprehensive photographic accounts of FESTAC’77. Drawing from Nance’s extensive archive, most of which has never before been published, Last Day in Lagos chronicles the exuberant intensity and sociopolitical significance of this extraordinary event.
