Architects ofLiberation: Modernismin Western Africa

1 upcoming performance in New York

At MoMA Exhibitions in New York, *Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa* traces how architects and planners in newly independent nations used modernist design to negotiate politics, climate, and public life. Drawings, models, photographs, and archival documents map projects across the mid-to-late twentieth century, from civic buildings to housing and campuses. For NYC audiences, it widens the museum’s modernism story beyond Europe and the United States. One clear takeaway is how “international” modernism looks different when shaped by decolonization and local expertise.
