Adeyinka Akingbade, a Lagos-based painter, photographer, and graphic designer, joins us for a four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, photography, mixed media, installation and research, and is concerned with the repurposing of materials that are often discarded or lost to reflect on migration and memory.

On 3rd July 2026, G.A.S. Lagos hosted Assorted Stories of Capsicum, an evening featuring a presentation on the history of Capsicum, the genus of plants that includes peppers and chillies, alongside soda- and zine-making workshops led by Kim M. Reynolds.

Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) are pleased to announce a new residency collaboration with nonprofit art collective Floating Museum through The Burroughs Residency in Chicago, United States. This initiative expands both organisations' commitment to supporting alumni and nurturing transnational exchange between artists, cultural practitioners, and communities across Nigeria and the United States.

London-based biodesigner and material researcher Akir Hall spent eight weeks in residence at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ as a recipient of the G.A.S. Fellowship Award 2026. During the residency, he developed a biomaterials library using agricultural by-products and food waste, specifically palm kernel, from the farm and surrounding communities, exploring how materials often regarded as waste can become valuable resources for functional design while reducing environmental impact.

The Centre for Contemporary Art, CCA, Lagos, is an independent non-profit making visual art organisation founded in December 2007 by Bisi Silva (1962 – 2019).
The centre provides a platform for the development, presentation, and discussion of contemporary visual art and culture. It seeks to create new audiences and to prioritise media such as photography, film and video, performance and installation art, which have been under-represented in Nigeria.
