"The second week in November marks the beginning of Lagos Art Week 2025, which brings together a host of solo and group exhibitions alongside a range of art world events. This year, the event is bigger than ever-and includes new opportunities for reflection and growth. Returning to the programme is the 10th edition of , West Africa's leading international art fair, which features special projects including the exhibition An Exacting Eye by J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, the legendary Nigerian photographer whose work spanned over six decades."
"Earlier this week, a new and slightly different Art Week affair took place: the Re: assemblages symposium, hosted by the Alliance Française de Lagos, organised by the Guest Artists Space and Yinka Shonibare Foundations and curated by Naima Hassan. The event brought together cultural practitioners including artists, curators, archivists and scholars from across Africa and the world in wide-ranging conversations about African and Afro-diasporic art archives."
Lagos Art Week 2025 begins the second week in November, bringing solo and group exhibitions plus diverse art-world events. The 10th edition of , West Africa's leading international art fair, returns with projects including An Exacting Eye by J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere and presentations from Yenwa Gallery and Tiwani Contemporary. Yenwa Gallery brings Pierre-Christophe Gam's The Sanctuary of Dreams to Lagos for the first time, and Tiwani Contemporary hosts a first Lagos solo show by a designer-artist. The 15th edition of Festival appears in Lagos and Ibadan, examining incarceration through exhibitions, screenings and collaborations through 29 November. The Re: assemblages symposium, hosted by the Alliance Française de Lagos and organised by the Guest Artists Space and Yinka Shonibare Foundations, gathers cultural practitioners to address African and Afro-diasporic art archives and emphasizes that archives require present access, not only historical reflection.
