Osaretin Ugiagbe will discuss the work on view in his exhibition at the Bronx Documentary Center, Unbelonging. Moderated by Stephanie Baptist.
In Unbelonging, the photos of Nigerian-born photographer Ugiagbe document the beauty and sorrows witnessed during a life split between the surging Bronx streets and the half-built flyovers of Lagos, Nigeria. Curated and produced by Cynthia Rivera and Mike Kamber.
