March & April Residency Updates

March & April Residency Updates

The March and April residencies at G.A.S. Foundation extended this trajectory of inquiry through a deepened engagement with research, ecology, and the expanded field of artistic practice. Across both Lagos and Ikiṣẹ, residents approached the programme as a site for sustained investigation, moving between archival work, field-based methodologies, and collaborative exchange. These months were particularly marked by an attentiveness to systems, whether ecological, urban, spiritual, or material, and to the ways knowledge is produced through immersion, dialogue, and iterative making. From explorations of coastal urbanism and participatory design to investigations into plant knowledge, healing practices, and cosmological frameworks, the residencies foregrounded process as much as outcome. In doing so, they reflect G.A.S. Foundation’s commitment to supporting practices that operate across disciplines and temporalities, where research and experimentation unfold in relation to lived environments, local expertise, and broader global conversations.

Oluwasemilore Delano to Explore Self-Referencing, Lineage, and Material Experimentation During Residency

Earlier this week, we welcomed British-Nigerian artist Oluwasemilore Delano for a six-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. Based between London and Lagos, Oluwasemilore works across painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, installation, and architecture. Her multidisciplinary practice explores memory, lineage, and Black spatial consciousness, with a particular focus on the figure as both form and a site of perception. Through materials such as charcoal, concrete, oil, and textured black surfaces, she interrogates time, cultural inheritance, and the interplay between personal and communal histories.
