Walk into Code: 146 on a Saturday evening and you’ll find it packed with Liberian locals and expats who want to hear aspiring artists at an open-mic night. “Everybody was there to have a good time,” said the Nigerian-born photographer @yagazieemezi, who found herself returning to the club time and again during a 10-month trip to #Liberia in the summer. “Regardless of what they were going through, people came to express the best versions of themselves; from their clothes to their performances. It didn’t really matter how much money they had.” Though she checked out a variety of venues during her visit, the casual atmosphere and the constant stream of fresh talent drew her to Code: 146 most weekends. The founder of Code: 146, Jonathan Koffa (@takunj), is one of Liberia’s most prominent hipco artists — a nod to the country’s take on American rap. “The people of Liberia know their history and remember their past,” @yagazieemezi said. “There is definitely a clear relationship between America and Liberia. Liberians take that influence and make it their own.” Visit the link in our profile to see photos inside Code: 146 — and to read more about the ease of Monrovia’s #hipco clubs.
