Last week, we welcomed adeoluwa oluwajoba, a Lagos-based mixed media artist and a recipient of the G.A.S. Fellowship Award 2026, for a residency at G.A.S. Lagos. Working across painting, collage, and photographic printmaking, adeoluwa’s practice examines the transfer and reproduction of images, exploring how visual fragments can be layered to create intricate and often disjointed scenes of bodies and landscapes. His work investigates the shifting relationships between image, meaning, and spatial experience.

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to welcome Olutomi Kassim, a UK-based academic researcher and interdisciplinary artist, for a residency at G.A.S. Lagos as a recipient of the G.A.S. Fellowship Award 2026. Olutomi’s practice sits at the intersection of scholarly research, performance, and textile-based art, examining how artistic practice can function as a catalyst for civic dialogue and social transformation. Her current work explores the role of cultural production as a form of “soft power” capable of addressing post-colonial governance challenges and encouraging communal reflection on justice, memory, and democratic futures.
