An Interactive Presentation of Residency Research, Reflections, and Clay Works by Fiyin Koko
Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on February 19th, 2026 for Story Story, an interactive presentation of residency research, reflections, and clay works by Fiyin Koko. Framed as a journey through storytelling, play, and imagination, the session explores how time spent at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ikiṣẹ, thinking, observing, and creating, shaped the works developed during her residency. Drawing from folklore, childlike wonder, and encounters with local children, animals, and the surrounding environment, Fiyin reflects on how these experiences informed her process, material choices, and creative approach.
Building on these reflections, the session prioritises hands-on engagement. Attendees will be invited to touch and handle selected clay works, experiencing them as tactile stories rather than static objects. Participants will have space to explore at their own pace, and the presentation will conclude with an open Q&A, offering the opportunity for discussion and reflection.

About Fiyin Koko
Fiyin Koko (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary Nigerian artist whose practice is rooted in womanism, storytelling, and the reimagining of narratives that place women at the centre of their own worlds. Self-taught, her artistic journey began in childhood, inspired by watching her mother paint. Working across mixed-media painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and digital illustration, she draws from six guiding pillars: womanism, conversation, body positivity, movement, love, and femininity. Her work blends fantasy, her signature use of blue, and elements of artivism to create immersive visual stories that explore memory, identity, and the everyday experiences of women.
