Tuesday, 29 November 2011. Listening for The Unspoken (2): Photo Essay - Khartoum to Addis Ababa. To tell a different story about our continent, to close up the hole that has been created by unrepresentative representations, and to ensure that we are doing our work with conviction, we ensured that we walked Khartoum. 1A – Nana interviews Issam Hafiez, veteran Sudanese artist and photographer. 1D – Who knows what Emeka is seeing behind the camera? 1E – I tell the truth, we were show offs in Khartoum!

Thursday, 8 December 2011. A Recount of the Presentation and Images from Addis. We have taken the liberty to include the artist statements of each photographer, as a precursor to images taken in Addis. I believe that the synchronization of the photos and statements will provide a well-rounded view of the work that has been done in Addis, and in the previous cities. Emeka Okereke – FRAGMENTS OF MOMENTS. Cunningham Street Meeting -. Homeless and Passerby -. Silk on the Walk -. Equally, within this structur...

Tuesday, 24 January 2012. Burying The Mountebanks - An occupyNigeria Dispatch. Although mainly a photography organization, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Photography Project is committed to ensuring that art and artists are useful tools in bringing about transformation across Africa. The recent protests in Nigeria provided another opportunity for Invisible Borders' members Ray-Daniels Okeugo and Emmanuel Iduma to use their art as a testimonial to change. For the first time in my life I felt whole.

Thursday, 1 December 2011. Ethio-Postcards (1) - Emmanuel Iduma. Thirteen Months of Sunshine. Do not be carried away, the thirteenth month is imagined. Bus stop like every other. And this city is also like every other in many ways; hopefully, subsequent posts will be dedicated to proving this sameness. Yet, there is every reason to point that an Ethiopian-sameness is different from a Sudanese-sameness, for instance. It is like saying: we are the same, but we are not the same. The Ethiopia of shoes. Will ...

Monday, 12 December 2011. Reflections on an Outward Journey (1): Security. As we near the end of this year's edition, I consider it necessary to articulate our experiences and the fallout of those experiences in an introspective manner, using the phases/themes that were glaringly relevant. No doubts, a long, arduous and exhilarating journey deserves just that. Many Have Gone -. Forest/Jos Road, Plateau State, Nigeria (Emeka Okereke). This question is rarely asked. It was the same in Lokoja, at the fi...

Wednesday, 30 November 2011. The Photographic Drama of Survival. Emmanuel Iduma in conversation with Ray-Daniels Okeugo on his project for Invisible Borders. What is the overall context of your project? It seems you speak about the universality of risk; risk is universal, and everybody is exposed to one form of risk or the other. Is this assumption correct? Do you think we should direct some attention to the presence of risk in our lives? What is the person running away from? Watch out for more of my wor...

Monday, 9 January 2012. Reflections on an Outward Journey (4) - Borders. Custom Control II, Matema Border - Ethiopia by Emeka Okereke. IB 2011. Which is why I assert that there is a form of borderness. That will always remain. Simply put, the emergent politics of identity is in large part determined by the old structure of the state. Borders have, and will always exist, whether as physical spaces or as mental spaces. Cameroun was simply a country we had to traverse en route Tchad. But ‘simply&#...I propo...
