A two-day convening in Lagos to explore “African and Afro-diasporic art archives as living, contested, and future-shaping spaces,” the Re:assemblages Symposium became a gathering point of ideas and geographies. Jointly presented by Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) in early November, the symposium moved its participants towards other ways of seeing, remembering, and keeping that dismantle hierarchies between human and non-human, while laboring against historical amnesia. The occasion also launched the C& Cyclopedia station partnership in the new Reading Room at the G.A.S. Library and Picton Archive.

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to welcome Fiyin Koko Tunde-Onadele, a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist, for a residency taking place between G.A.S. Lagos and the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikise from January to February 2026. Working across painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, installation, and moving image, Tunde-Onadele’s practice is grounded in womanism, memory, play, and embodied experience. Her work explores how personal and collective stories—particularly those centered on women—are formed, remembered, and transformed over time.

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to welcome Daniel Oluwaloni Abiodun, a Lagos-based photographer and filmmaker, for a residency at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikise from February to March 2026. Working across photography, moving image, and sound, Abiodun’s practice examines everyday life in Nigeria through the lens of identity, community, and the dynamic tension between tradition and modernity. His work blends candid street photography with stylised portraiture to construct intimate visual narratives rooted in lived experience.

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to welcome Ryan Tenney, an interdisciplinary artist and agroecological practitioner based in Kansas City, for a residency at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikise from January to March 2026. Working across painting, installation, digital media, and ecological research, Tenney’s practice sits at the intersection of art, agriculture, technology, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. His work investigates how creative and agrarian practices can operate as tools for liberation, collective care, and alternative futures.

On November 28, 2025, G.A.S. Lagos hosted Our Key Images, a printmaking workshop led by artist and educator Daniel Minter. The session introduced participants to Daniel’s approach to relief block carving and the use of personal symbols as foundational elements within his assemblage practice.
