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

Earlier this month, we welcomed Kamael Kirkland and Maryam Muhammad to G.A.S. Lagos for an eight-week internship, delivered in partnership with Spelman College and the Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective (AUC Collective). Now in its third year, this collaboration continues to support emerging arts professionals through meaningful exposure to curatorial practice, research, and cultural programming.

Nubuke Foundation is a contemporary art and cultural institution based in Accra, Ghana, dedicated to advancing African artistic practice while preserving and promoting indigenous knowledge systems. Through exhibitions, residencies, research, and public programming, the Foundation operates as both a site of artistic production and a platform for cultural memory.

Central to its work is a focus on material traditions including textiles and clay. These materials are explored as both artistic mediums and archival systems. Nubuke’s programmes engage artists, artisans, and communities in long-term processes of documentation, reinterpretation, and transmission.

In recent years, the Foundation has expanded its work into archival development, building collections that include artist records, oral histories, and material culture documentation. These efforts challenge conventional archival frameworks by prioritising embodied knowledge, community participation, and non-linear histories.

Through local and international collaborations, Nubuke contributes to critical conversations on decolonisation, knowledge production, and the future of African art. It is increasingly positioned as a key site for developing experimental approaches to archives and publishing within the continent.

RAW Material Company is a centre for art, knowledge and society. It is an initiative involved with curatorial practice, artistic education, residencies, knowledge production, and archiving of theory and criticism on art.

It works to foster appreciation and growth of artistic and intellectual creativity in Africa. The programme is trans-disciplinary and is equally informed by literature, film, architecture, politics, fashion, cuisine and diaspora.

RAW Material Company is made of:

RAW Base, a resource centre specialized in contemporary art,

RAW Académie, an experimental study programme for artistic thinking and production

Ker Issa, residencies and studios for artists, curators, authors and researchers.

RAW Material Company’s premises are located in Sicap Baobabs and Zone B. RAW Material Company Zone B is a former 1950s residential home of Modernist inspiration in a historic neighbourhood of Dakar. The renovation of this space is a departure point from which we wish to develop research and projects on the role of architecture and urban planning in shaping contemporary societal discourse in African cities.
