Through sequences of black-and-white street portraits, the project traces how this vibration is embodied through gesture and movement, shaping collective identity through shared musical experience.’ – Sean Kweifio-Okai @seanokai_

ROYAL is a portrait of the Okada riders of Jamestown, Accra — an informal mobility network that moves people and goods through the city while remaining largely outside its official structures. The work traces how urban identity takes shape in the margins: in repeated routes that form an unofficial map of the city, in bikes personalised as markers of belonging, in a social order held together by trust rather than governance.

@seanokkai is a Ghanaian-Australian street and documentary photographer whose practice is rooted in ethnographic engagement with Jamestown and its social ecologies. His work pushes back against the reductive visual frameworks through which African urban life has historically been seen, making room for more nuanced, situated modes of seeing and understanding. For the Atlas of Uncertainty, he has made something that asks you to look again at the city — and at who holds it together.

ROYAL, 2025. Archival pigment print, 1000 × 660 mm. Part of the Atlas of Uncertainty, on view at the @originscentre, @wits__university, Johannesburg through 3 July.
