Zorana Musikic, from the series Closely Spaced, 2012
CROSSING COMPASSES links young photographers from Nigeria and Germany, promoting creative and cultural exchange through images.
Emerging photographers from Yaba College of Technology in Lagos, Nigeria, and Neue Schule für Fotografie Berlin were given the chance to travel to their partner's country to produce a photographic series.
The exchange itself already being an intrisicially culturally enriching process, the project explored the concept of "the other", questioning and observing pre-established social norms and artistic stereotypes.
