This December, we are thrilled to host our final resident of the year, Swiss-Haitian multidisciplinary artist Sasha Huber, as she undertakes a four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos.  Based in Helsinki and internationally recognised for her research-driven practice, Huber works across performance, video, photography, and collaborative intervention to explore the politics of memory, care, and belonging in relation to colonial histories. Central to her practice is the staple gun—a tool she reclaims from its violent associations to propose possibilities for repair, symbolically stitching together wounds and challenging contested narratives. Working with archival materials and layered processes, she creates reparative gestures that connect past and present. Huber is also widely known for her contribution to the Demounting Louis Agassiz campaign, which seeks to critically reassess the glaciologist’s racist legacy.

On December 4, 2025, G.A.S. Lagos hosted Body Memory, a meditative, movement-based workshop exploring how the body carries personal and collective memory. Led by Khaleb Brooks, the session invited participants to reflect on how histories are embodied, asking questions such as: Who gets to memorialise, and who is excluded? What do we hide from ourselves, and what unprocessed memories rest quietly in our bodies?

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to announce that Khaleb Brooks, a multidisciplinary artist and researcher working across painting, sculpture, film, and performance, will undertake a five-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. Based in Brazil, Khaleb's practice investigates the intersections of collective memory, the body, and the afterlives of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Rooted in decolonial and archival methodologies, their work engages history as a living, embodied site, one that continues to shape identities, landscapes, and communities across the diaspora.

The fourth edition of the Lagos Art Week programme brought together global and continent-based cultural leaders in a new iteration that integrated the first ever Re:assemblages Symposium, presented with Guest Artists Space Foundation alongside the tour’s established programme of curated art and cultural visits. Running from 4-5 November, the symposium marked a new institutional pillar within the week, complementing the traditional art tour from 6-9 November, which delivered gallery, museum, residency, and studio engagements, including VIP access to Art X Lagos and signature Foundation-hosted events. This inaugural integration expanded the tour’s scope while retaining its core model of patron access and arts ecosystem highlights.

G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to announce that our newly activated Reading Room at the G.A.S. Library and Picton Archive is now open to the public for guided sessions every Tuesday and Thursday. First unveiled during the Re:assemblages Symposium on 4 November 2025, the space is designed for encounters with publications that trace connections across African and Afro-diasporic art and cultural ecologies.
