Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) are pleased to announce a new residency exchange partnership with the Floating Museum through The Burroughs Residency in Chicago, United States. This initiative expands both organisations' commitment to supporting alumni and nurturing transnational exchange between artists, cultural practitioners, and communities across Nigeria and the United States.

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 5th June 2026 for The Archive is Only the First Sentence, an open studio and presentation of residency research by Yoma Emore. Beginning with an introduction to the narrative and archival frameworks that shape her practice, Yoma will move through earlier works and current residency research surrounding The Prince Who Never Was, an ongoing project exploring lineage and the Lusophone–Warri relationship in the early sixteenth century. The presentation will explore speculative mapping, storytelling, family archives, and the relationship between fiction and historical memory.

In December 2025, G.A.S. Foundation, in partnership with the Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.), announced the call for the fourth edition of the G.A.S. Fellowship Award, supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. This year, the award offered multiple fully funded residencies, including opportunities for outstanding U.S. based artists and cultural practitioners to undertake residencies at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ.

Earlier this month, we welcomed Kim M. Reynolds, a U.S. writer, educator, maker and recipient of the G.A.S. Fellowship Award 2026, for an eight-week at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ. Her multidisciplinary practice spans research, literature, culinary arts, and food history, with a focus on pan-Africanism, ritual, social justice, and arts movements across the African continent and its diaspora. She is also the founder of Home Spice, a culinary project tracing the history of capsicum in Black cuisines through writing and cooking.

Join us on 30th May 2026 at G.A.S. Lagos for Underwater Ave, a communal evening bringing together works in progress by current G.A.S. residents Kush Badhwar, Okwei Odili, Oluwasemilore Delano, and Yoma Emore. As their residencies come to a close at the end of May, the artists share unfinished ideas, footage, fragments, prototypes, tests, and experiments developed during their time at G.A.S.
