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.
