Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation invites applications to participate in Collecting Sediments, a two-day earth art workshop co-facilitated by current resident Alexandra Mitiku and the Ala-Praxis Collective.

Join us on September 30th, 2026, for Residency Open Studio, a presentation of ongoing research and works by current residents Afsian Aguilar and Alexandra Mitiku. Together, they will open their studios to share the practices and questions shaping their time at G.A.S. The presentation will delve into their distinct focuses. Afsian considers home, identity, and the body through painting, collage, fabric, and installation while Alexandra’s works meditate on migration, imperialism, and the imbalance caused by extractive forms of development. In Lagos she has been observing the juxtaposition of how new land is created through the mangrove tree ecosystem and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road; both shifting the borders between land and water but resulting in different environmental futures.

Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation, in partnership with the Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.), is pleased to announce the second cohort of the G.A.S. Critical Writing Workshop. Following a successful pilot programme, held in March 2026, the workshop continues to support the professional and critical development of emerging art writers, researchers, and cultural practitioners in Nigeria.

Earlier this month, we welcomed New York-based writer, curator and critic Folasade Ologundudu to G.A.S. Lagos as a recipient of the 2026 G.A.S. Fellowship Award. Her practice spans research and curatorial work, investigating contemporary art through Black and African diasporic experiences, the universal human condition, power structures and cultural forces.
