In the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, a thriving waterfront community called Otodo Gbame once stood — built with wisdom passed down over generations, and in harmony with nature. Residents primarily lived in homes on stilts above the Lagos Lagoon, giving them proximity to fishing — their primary source of livelihood — and well adapted to seasonal fluctuations in water levels. But in 2017, their homes were violently destroyed by the Lagos State Government, despite a High Court order against eviction. Demolishing Resilience tells the story of what was lost — not just homes, but also a heritage of sustainability — and questions who truly benefits from the so-called development which has come to the community's land. For the people of Otodo Gbame, climate justice is housing justice. The fight for communities like Otodo Gbame is a fight for our shared future. Join us!
