Last week our first Big Give funded resident, Seyi Adelekun, joined us at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikise where she will be based for three weeks before returning to G.A.S. Lagos to complete the remainder of their residency.

Antoinette Yetunde Oni, M:ARCH Architecture student from Central Saint Martins is the second of two practitioners to be selected for the University of the Arts London (UAL) Art for the Environment residency at Guest Artists Space. She is our first resident at the G.A.S. Farm House, here she shares some insights into how she hopes to use the ooprtunity. 

Guest Artists Space Foundation and Ofem Ubi are pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Ofem Ubi developed during his residency. The show brings together a multidisciplinary body of work spanning film, photography and poetry and addresses a series of provocations developed by the artist upon his selection for the programme.

In November 2021 Yinka Shonibare Foundation joined the Big Give, the UK's biggest coordinated fundraising campaign to raise money for a new Fellowship Residency at G.A.S. Foundation for a UK-based African Diaspora artist and a curator. After successfully reaching our target we were able to raise enough funds to cover the cost of two 6-week fully catered residencies that came complete with flights, local travel and materials. 

Artist and researcher Chiizii has used her digital residency to launch an interdisciplinary online research archive and multi-sited experiential teaching tool designed to educate and encourage conversation around pre and post-colonial Igbo diets.
