Guest Artists Space Foundation (G.A.S.), in partnership with the Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.), is thrilled to announce the fourth edition of the prestigious fully funded G.A.S. Fellowship Award. This year’s call, the largest to date, offers five residencies for Nigerian based and diaspora artists/writers and three residencies for artists based in the United States. These opportunities are open to outstanding emerging to mid-career arts professionals.

This round of alumni updates reflects the continued impact of G.A.S. Foundation’s community across artistic, curatorial, and institutional contexts worldwide. From major international prizes and museum acquisitions to curatorial leadership and critical recognition, these milestones speak to the depth, rigor, and ambition of our alumni’s practices. Together, they underscore G.A.S.’s ongoing commitment to supporting research-driven, socially engaged, and globally resonant work—long after each residency, fellowship, or programme has concluded.

On December 12th, 2025, G.A.S. Lagos hosted Cultivating Your Creative Purpose, a workshop for emerging artists and cultural practitioners. The event featured a screening of The Salt of the Earth by German filmmaker and photographer Wim Wenders and Brazilian filmmaker Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, followed by an artist-led dialogue with Kwadwo Asiedu. 

Originally aired live during the 2025 Re:assemblages Symposium, this segment, now available on YouTube, offers on-the-ground coverage, audience engagement, and key moments that shaped the event’s atmosphere and discussions.
