Last week, we welcomed Dr Christine Checinska, a British artist, designer, curator and storyteller of Caribbean descent, to G.A.S. Lagos for her residency. Based in London, Christine’s multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, printmaking, installation, textiles, fashion, curating and literature. She is the V&A’s inaugural Senior Curator of Africa and Diaspora Textiles and Fashion, and Lead Curator of the international touring exhibition Africa Fashion.

Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) are pleased to announce a partnership with Amsterdam-based collective Archival Consciousness through Biblio-Graph, a web application for digitising, publishing, archiving, and interacting with collections. The platform will support our organisations in expanding digital access to our collections and work across Africa and beyond.
