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.

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.
