BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) Art Project

The BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) Art Project was a public art project that was part of The Goethe Institut, Nigeria's 50th year anniversary celebrations and the lagos_live arts festival in December 2012.
 
The project was about taking art out of the gallery into the public space and facilitating new connections between artist and audience.
 
"I am really excited about art occupying the same space advertising occupies in Lagos and I'm glad my work served as an alternative to the daily messages that urge us to see, buy, fly, attend etc. I look forward to seeing how people react to the artwork(s) and how their presence has an impact on what images we see in Lagos's visual landscape". Karo Akpokiere.
A video was made for the project.
Drawings created for the project that were not used.
