we are pleased that you were able to read the blog and appreciate the rich historical perspective that you bring to these questions, as a member of a such an exciting and important early collective in Africa.

we hope that you will continue to follow the Invisible Borders project on their blog:

and we will ask the photographers whether there are any South African itineraries in the cards in the near future!

As a ‘later into life’ South African photographer I am so pleased to have a glimpse of the work of these young African photographers and – of course- wish I was with them in that younger age where adventures took place frequently and eyes were opened daily to ongoing sights. Our Africa is a frustrating mystical and yet loveable place! Thank you for sending this blog to me

I have enjoyed your initiative to keep track of the the Nigerian collective, Invisible Boarders. I also value their relevance within the goals defined by the “Ungovernables” exhibition project. Documenting this project as you have done is auspicious as it provides art historical information on photography in Nigeria. The “can do” spirit identified with the Nigerian aptly noticed in the zeal of these trans African photographers, and the transcultural value it holds for the African continent, remaons invaluable in tracking contemporary developments in this aspect of cultural production in Africa
