LOS-JOGJA

In this artwork, Emeka Ogboh discusses issues surrounding globalisation, immigration and the politics of multiculturalism, layer by layer through the sound atmosphere of Lagos, which is projected on the site of the Jogja Biennale. The sound identity of the city environment has formed us, and the sounds of the exhibition location will be intercepted by unfamiliar sounds from Lagos. This allows us to develop familiarity and find new similarities, different from what we know so far about Indonesia and Nigeria through mainstream media. “LOS-JOGJA” is a remix of Ogboh’s earlier work entitled “Lagos Soundscapes”.
