As we enter three years of programming and residencies at G.A.S. Foundation, we are thrilled to present our second Impact Report. It chronicles our journey from digital programming to welcoming our 85th G.A.S. resident in June 2025. 

The 2025–26 edition of Re:assemblages marks a dynamic new phase in fostering collaboration and experimentation across African and Afro-diasporic art libraries and their publishing ecologies. This ambitious multi-year programme reimagines the stewardship and activation of transnational archives of art and literature that have emerged since African independence, culminating in a constellation of international convenings, symposia, micro-publications, and a research intensive. 

At its core, the aim of the Foundation is to facilitate residencies, education and professional development programmes supporting artists, curators, researchers, designers, farmers, ecologists or those otherwise working within the creative or environmental fields

The point of all this is to help develop food security and sustainability in an area where unemployment is high and food supply is precarious. Bringing people to the farm, for arts events as well as residencies, should also provide a boost for the local economy.” - Yinka Shonibare CBE RA

Your generous contributions support the Foundation’s distinctive interdisciplinary residencies, research, education programmes and public events. As a registered UK charity, there are many ways to give to the Yinka Shonibare Foundation and its partner Guest Artists Space Foundation in Nigeria.
