16 Stills showcases four Nigerian-American photographers who live and work in Houston, Texas. Chino Angles, Hope Obadan, Mani Olaniyan, and Michael Onipede create imaginative images that provoke and inspire. The exhibition highlights the collaborative synergy among the four artists and reflects on how Houston’s creative identity has been enriched by West African culture and history.

The vibrant colors, angles, edits and intricately constructed scenes challenge the state of our reality and allow viewers to see Blackness from an uncommon perspective.

The sixteen images help weave the cultural connections between Africa and North America while emphasizing the legacy of photography in the African diaspora.
