The Annotations Research Associate Programme is designed to explore African art festivals, such as FESMAN, Panafest, Zaire 74, and FESTAC’77. The seven-week-long programme falls under the wider scope of G.A.S. Library and Picton Archive’s Re:assemblages project. We are pleased to announce the selected participants - budding multidisciplinary curators, Adeyosola Adeniran and Ufuoma Ogbemudje, and independent archivist, Osayame Emokpae-Ozoro. Running parallel to our archival practice internships supported by Spelman College and AUC (Atlanta University Center) Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective, this opportunity for Lagos-based practitioners foregrounds our foundation's dedication to building capacity within our local industry in Lagos.
G.A.S. Foundation is pleased to be partnering with Spelman College, and the Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective (AUC Collective) to facilitate internships for three of its student members. Future curators, art historians, museum professionals and artists are nurtured in this collective. Housed within the Department of Art & Visual Culture at Spelman College, this program aims to shape the future of the art world and position the Atlanta University Center as the leading incubator of African American professionals in these fields by cultivating students who will seek knowledge, discover purpose and make change.
Across the autumn of 2022 and summer of 2023, Raqs Media Collective spent time across various sites in southwestern Nigeria conducting research and recording material for a new artwork titled Na-Bam : Measure without Measure. This meta-narrative contextualises the work and its impulses.
