Bisila Noha, a London-based ceramicist, completed a six-week residency at G.A.S. Foundation, exploring Nigerian ceramic traditions. She engaged with potters in Ayobo, studied sacred sites in Ilorin and Osogbo, and experimented with local materials at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ. Her residency culminated in Ile Ọkàn – A Gathering at the House of the Soul, a temporary clay and brick installation inspired by Igbo Mbari houses, celebrating the intersection of art, spirituality, and community.

On February 11th, we hosted our first Patrons Dinner of 2025 at G.A.S. Lagos, bringing together Patrons, donors, trustees, and key supporters for an intimate evening of meaningful conversations and fine dining.

G.A.S. Foundation is excited to welcome Ugo Ahiakwo, recipient of the 2024 Tilga Art Fund Prize, for a six-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. A Lagos-based sculptor and curator, Ugo’s multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, curatorial work, and design. His work is defined by tactility, dynamism, and refinement, with a strong focus on transforming overlooked materials and reimagining their potential. Guided by an intuitive yet intentional approach, he views his materials as collaborators: listening, negotiating, and responding to them as he uncovers new possibilities in form and meaning.
