A buzzing art week signals sustained investment in West Africa's financial capital.

Following the launch of its programme in May 2022, Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation is pleased to present An Unfolding Prelude, a group exhibition of works that were developed during, and adjacent to, the first six months of residencies.

G.A.S is an non-profit project with two major new Nigeria-based creative hubs dedicated to art, design, architecture, agriculture and ecology.

Yinka Shonibare’s new artists’ residency space, Ecology Green Farm, in a remote part of Nigeria, offers a lush landscape for cultural and creative discovery.

Miriam Bettin is the second of three curators based in Germany to join us at G.A.S. Lagos as part of the TURN2 Programme. The initiative developed by the German Federal Cultural Fund was conceived to facilitate artistic co-creation between Germany and African countries. We asked Miriam to share her hopes and aspirations for the two-month residency with us.
