Blockfest Africa / Lagos, Nigeria

Markets are made
of people.

A photo journal from Blockfest Africa: conversations, connections and time on the ground in Lagos.

Event journal

Blockfest Africa.

I attended Blockfest Africa in Lagos and used the opportunity to meet people in the local technology and business community. These six photos document the people I met and the time I spent at the event.

For me, the value of being there was getting closer to the people behind the market. It gave me better questions to bring into future research: who builds trust, how people find new products, and where an outside perspective can miss the local context.
