1 month agoLagos symposium-spearheaded by the artist Yinka Shonibare-to dig deep into African archives
The Re:assemblages symposium (4-5 November), taking place at Alliance Française de Lagos, will bring together artists, scholars and publishers "to collectively rethink African and Afro-diasporic archives as living, contested and future-shaping spaces," says a statement. The symposium is organised by the non-profit Guest Artists Space Foundation (G.A.S.) and Yinka Shonibare Foundation, which were both founded by Shonibare in 2019. The Lagos event is the second edition of Re: assemblages (2025-26), a two-year programme which "reimagines the role of archives in shaping African and global art histories", the organisers add.
