Under the theme \u201cIncarceration,\u201d the 2025 edition examines the many visible and invisible forms of confinement\u2014whether imposed by systems or self\u2014that continue to constrain marginalised peoples. The biennial asks how images can expose, challenge, and reimagine carceral structures.<\/p>\n<p>Presented across four venues in Lagos and Ibadan, the program features solo and collaborative projects, institutional exhibitions, screenings, and talks. LagosPhoto\u2019s debut expansion to Ibadan will foreground works engaging the city\u2019s urban and architectural expressions of incarceration.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The rise of Jobale\u0300 2025.
