On 30th September 2025, the second convening of the African Arts Libraries Lab (AAL Lab) brought together scholars, librarians, researchers, and cultural practitioners to explore the evolving landscape of African literary archives and libraries. Titled Worlding from Below: Mapping African Literary Spaces, the event formed part of the AAL Lab Convening Series, Contemporary Art and Archive Practices (CAAP), jointly Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) within the framework of the Re:assemblages programme.

Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) and Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation are delighted to announce that The Osahon Okunbo Foundation (TOOF) joins our Global Circle of supporters. This significant two year donation will support residencies in Lagos and assist in the realization of the 2025 Re:assemblages Symposium.  

Across July, August, G.A.S. Foundation hosted three residents whose practices spanned research, performance, installation, and sound, yet converged on shared themes of heritage, ecology, and community. Pelumi Odubanjo traced Afro-Brazilian histories across Lagos, Badagry, and Ibadan, Dr. Ietef Vita rooted his eco-hip-hop practice in Nigerian landscapes, merging music with agroecology, food justice, and ancestral knowledge while engaging local creative and activist communities. Olufela Omokeko deepened his Mobile Food Museum project through sculptural and installation-based works that celebrated Yoruba agricultural identity and reimagined the symbolic weight of everyday tools. Together, their residencies reflect the breadth of experimentation and dialogue nurtured at G.A.S., where artistic practice becomes a means to preserve cultural histories, spark ecological awareness, and foster community resilience.
