Ajike "Saint Jerry" Njoku says he wants to reveal the largely untold journey that African immigrants have undertaken in China over the past decade.
When the 37-year-old Nigerian artist arrived in Beijing five years ago, he says he felt constrained by an erroneous stereotype: Africans were just out to make a buck any which way they could.
"The story of Africa in China is all hustle and bustle. This exhibition is a different view of Africans in China," he says, where they have studied and worked, made lives and homes.
