How to See: Modern Architecture in Western Africa

Join Martino Stierli, co-curator of "Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa,” for a rare on-location look at modernist buildings across six West African countries — Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Ghana, Senegal, and Nigeria. In the decades after independence, countries across West Africa turned to modernist design as a symbol of progress, self-determination, and Pan-African ambition. This video tours some of the era's most striking buildings.
