This month, we are highlighting recent achievements from members of the G.A.S. alumni community. Since 2022, our residents and fellows have continued to develop ambitious practices across disciplines and geographies. July has seen alumni recognised through prestigious awards, international exhibitions, film festivals, and major professional opportunities, underscoring the lasting impact of the relationships and research fostered during their time at G.A.S.

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 23rd July 2026 for Exodus, a presentation of new works by current resident Adeyinka Akingbade, developed during his four-week residency. Expanding his ongoing project Exodus, Adeyinka transforms discarded books and found materials into sculptural works that reflect on displacement, survival, memory, and the communities forced to flee violence. Through repurposed books, metal, wood, and school uniform fabric, the works bear witness to lives interrupted while exploring the power of materials to hold memory.

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 17th July 2026 for our Library Open Day, an opportunity to delve deeper into the resources of the G.A.S. Library and Picton Archive. Established in 2022, the library holds a growing collection covering the visual arts of Sub-Saharan Africa and its diaspora. At its core is the Picton Archive and Reference Collection, a specialist collection on African art following the lifetime gift of a personal library from Emeritus Professor of African Art (University of London) John Picton, and Sue Picton.

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 8th July 2026 for im/MATERIAL, an intimate conversation and presentation of new works exploring the research and material investigations undertaken by current resident Moses Hamborg during his time at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ.
