In February 2026, G.A.S. Foundation was formally announced as a participant in the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia by Koyo Kouoh. During the opening week of 5–9 May, the Foundation presented Chorus, a major installation developed through its residency programme spanning its purpose-built creative campus in Lagos and its sustainability-focused farm with an onsite studio in Ikise. Alongside this presentation, alumni, trustees, and collaborators participated in a range of independently programmed events across Venice, reflecting the expanding reach of the Foundation’s network.

Adeyinka Akingbade, a Lagos-based painter, photographer, and graphic designer, joins us for a four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, photography, mixed media, installation and research, and is concerned with the repurposing of materials that are often discarded or lost to reflect on migration and memory.

The Centre for Contemporary Art, CCA, Lagos, is an independent non-profit making visual art organisation founded in December 2007 by Bisi Silva (1962 – 2019).
The centre provides a platform for the development, presentation, and discussion of contemporary visual art and culture. It seeks to create new audiences and to prioritise media such as photography, film and video, performance and installation art, which have been under-represented in Nigeria.

Contemporary And (C&) is a platform for international contemporary art and thought. Founded in 2013 as a bilingual online magazine, C& has since unfolded into the C& Cosmos: two online magazines (C& Magazine and C& América Latina Magazine), critical print publications, free education programs, and projects that move between digital and physical space. From reading rooms to mentoring, from artist commissions to the C& Cyclopedia, we create spaces for reflection, connection, and exchange.
 

32° East provides artists with the support, resources, and community they need to advance their craft, critically reflect our world, and imagine a new one. As part of our resources, we house an extensive Arts library that includes catalogues, books on poetry, painting, art theory, modern art, contemporary art, art history, among others
