ALÁRA Books — Traffic Wisdom
Condition: New.
A photobook by Olisaemeka McDonald Okocha, drawn from his Instagram archive @trafficwisdom. The project documents the hand-painted slogans that ride on buses, trucks and taxis across West Africa: prayers and affirmations, sharp one-liners and pocket philosophy, collected as a portrait of the road and the people who drive it. Published by ALÁRA Books, Lagos, 2026.
Part of the Black Curatorial reading room — books from our Frieze London 2026 presentation and the wider Caribbean and Black British canon. Enquiries: aliyah@blackcuratorial.co
