G.A.S. Foundation is thrilled to invite you to a virtual conversation with 2023 G.A.S. Fellowship recipient and forthcoming resident Kosisochukwu Nnebe and distinguished Ghanian artist, Ibrahim Mahama, taking place in the context of The Seeds We Carry, Nnebe’s latest solo exhibition at the SAW Centre in Ottawa, Canada, curated by Joséphine Denis. This event is co-presented by the SAW Centre, Black Artists Network and Dialogue (BAND), G.A.S. Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation, and promises to be a profound exploration of site-specific and process-oriented art practices by two contemporary African artists and their impact on communities.

Shonibare, who was raised between London and Lagos, is employing his socially engaged practice to tackle the complex relationship between colonialism and ecological devastation.
