Guest Artists Space

 

G.A.S. provides a platform for experimentation, collaboration and professional development, with a commitment to crosscultural exchange and support for practitioners at all career stages. As a site for artistic dialogue in West Africa, our programming responds to the specificities of our residency locations while building connections across global networks. Our work is organised around three programming strands: Materiality, Ecology, Farming and Food; and Archives and Publishing. These thematic anchors allow us to cultivate transnational relationships, amplify underrepresented perspectives and encourage critical engagement across disciplines.
