Ferdinand Ekechukwu At Temple Muse, a landmark destination since 2008, located in the heart of Lagos, guests would experience “NLANGA GOL”, an exhibition by celebrated Cameroonian master photographer, Alain Ngann, within a gallery-like ambiance that seamlessly merges aesthetics with contemporary art, design, and culture. The exhibition which opened on October 29th, 2024, would continue until November 17, 2024. The powerful collection of beautiful photographs would immerse viewers in a profound visual journey through Africa’s material, immaterial and human heritage, each image capturing the continent’s timeless artistry, resilience and spirit.
Born in Douala, Cameroon, Alain Ngann is an acclaimed and sought-after photographer, known for his exceptional contributions to the field of advertising and fine art photography. A self-taught artist with a career as unique as his work, Ngann uses his craft as a platform to address deeply personal and cultural subjects. His campaigns and exhibits serve as dynamic calls to action, exploring themes of identity, diversity, and heritage while challenging indifference and stereotypes.
In “NLANGA GOL”, Ngann steps back, allowing his subjects to live and breathe their stories, blending beauty with history, and wisdom with artistry. Each photograph serves as a testament to a continent that, though often overshadowed, never loses its light. The exhibition at Temple Muse is a call to embrace and safeguard Africa’s heritage, a reminde.
