We are pleased to announce the final year of Re:assemblages, a three-year programme examining how archives of art and literature from Africa and its global diaspora can be preserved, interpreted, shared, and activated in the present. 

Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 7th August 2026 for the closing event of Exodus, marking the final day of Adeyinka Akingbade's residency presentation. This finissage offers one last opportunity to experience the works within the context of the exhibition, meet the artist, and reflect on the ideas that shaped the project, including forced displacement, memory, and communities affected by violence.

We are pleased to partner with 32° East on Ecotonal Readings Convening: Library, Landscape, and Sustainable Futures, a presentation and workshop led by Dr. Anna Adima and artist and printmaker Kajebe Jacob Joshua, taking place on Tuesday 4 August 2026. The event forms part of the  AAL Lab convening series Contemporary Art and Archive Practices (CAAP), jointly organised by Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) within the framework of the Re:assemblages programme.

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.
