OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

What does it mean to theorize popular transport as embodied, experiential, reflective, and aspirational? By examining Lagos, Africa’s most populous city, through its popular transport systems and visual subculture, this talk aims to reclaim new critical aesthetics of perception and imagination. It seeks to move beyond the perfunctory narrative of transportation as crisis and instead encourages a social reimagining of Africa’s popular transport as vibrant spaces of aliveness—sites of inventive and affective responses to precarity.
