E.N. Mirembe to Investigate Literary Legacies During Lagos Residency

We are pleased to welcome E.N. Mirembe, a Germany-based curator, writer, and researcher, for a four-week residency at G.A.S. Lagos. Their work explores the intersections of literature, curatorial practice, and Black artistic production, with a particular focus on the histories and legacies of African and diasporic literary magazines. Mirembe’s broader inquiry reflects an interest in how these publications have shaped aesthetic production across the African diaspora and how their legacy continues to inform contemporary creative practices.

Kwadwo A. Asiedu to Develop Site-Responsive Paintings During G.A.S. Farm House Residency

Earlier this month, we welcomed Kwadwo A. Asiedu, a Lagos-based Ghanaian-Mexican painter and photographer, to the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ. Raised within the grounds of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), home to one of West Africa’s largest preserved rainforests, Kwadwo’s early life was deeply attuned to the natural world. This foundation informs a visual practice rooted in abstracted landscapes and a sustained inquiry into humanity’s complex relationship with nature. Through his use of elemental forms, he interrogates the dissonance between human ambition and ecological reality, exploring themes of permanence and impermanence while seeking to reframe our relationship with nature toward reverence, humility, and stewardship.
