Teju Cole

The award-winning American-Nigerian author of Every Day Is for the Thief, Open City and Known and Strange Things and internationally exhibited photographer Teju Cole presents his innovative new work, Blind Spot which brings together his two great passions - words and photography. In a special live event, Cole (who is also the photography critic of The New York Times Magazine) uses images and words to transport the audience around the world on his travels, from a park in Berlin to a mountain range in Switzerland, a church exterior in Lagos to a parking lot in Brooklyn. He evokes landscapes, beautiful or quotidian, inspired by his memories, fantasies, and introspections.
