Announcing a New Residency Partnership Between Guest Artists Space and the Finnish Cultural Foundation

G.A.S. is pleased to partner with the Finnish Cultural Foundation to provide two fully funded, eight-week residencies, which will be awarded to Finnish or Finland-based artists, curators, or writers. The selected residents will primarily be housed in Lagos, with the possibility of spending a shorter time at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ijebu. The opportunity is open to practitioners across various career stages, working in the visual arts, literature, curatorial practice, or intersecting disciplines, who engage with themes of material culture, ecology, and archives within a dynamic transnational context.

Y.S.F. Patrons and Alumni attend a Private View and guided tour of In Transit Under Another Sky

On 27 May 2025, the Yinka Shonibare Foundation convened a Private View and guided tour for patrons and alumni at The Africa Centre, London, spotlighting the latest iteration of the travelling exhibition In Transit Under Another Sky. The event marked a significant moment in the trajectory of a project that emerged from Art Exchange: Moving Image, a dynamic curatorial development programme dedicated to amplifying the voices of early-career curators from Sub-Saharan Africa. The event also formed part of the British Council’s UK/Kenya Season of Culture 2025, situating the exhibition within a wider transnational arts ecology. A post-tour conversation between exhibiting artists SCARLETTMOTIFF and Larry Achiampong further deepened the discursive space of the evening, foregrounding themes of mobility, identity, and cinematic practice across diasporic and continental African contexts.
