SUMMARY:Ayotunde Ojo: A Life of Its Own [Solo Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:OPENING NEXT WEEK \nTiwani Contemporary is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Ayotunde Ojo\, ‘A Life Of Its Own’\, at its Lagos gallery. \nOjo presents his domestic interiors as living\, shifting spaces\, altered by light\, stillness and movement\, subtly capturing the temporal shifts that coexist within a shared space. \nThe exhibition reflects an awareness that life does not stand still. Relationships between lovers\, friends\, family and animals carry moments of closeness and potential friction. By layering multiple scenes together\, Ojo introduces a quiet tension into the compositions. The home\, perceived primarily as a site of stability\, can become a space that both shelters and mirrors the instabilities of the outside world. \nExhibition dates: 26 March – 27 June 2026\nOpening reception: Thursday\, 26 March 2026\, 6:00 – 10:00 pm \nDetails by @tiwanicontemporary. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.

SUMMARY:The Earth Holds Our Names [Solo Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Olumide Onadipe \nOLUMIDE ONADIPE (b. 1982) is a Lagos-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersection of materiality and socio-political commentary. Working with diverse media\, Onadipe constructs idiosyncratic sculptures that offer subtle critiques of Nigerian society. Rather than explicit political statements\, his work often communicates through evocative forms and textured surfaces\, with meaning frequently revealed through suggestive titles that invite multiple interpretations. \nDeeply fascinated by environmental themes and the aesthetic possibilities of texture\, Onadipe transforms relatable materials into playful yet profound iterations that blur the line between object and commentary. \nOnadipe holds a master’s degree in Visual Arts from the University of Lagos (2012). His work has been featured prominently on the international stage\, including at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair (London\, 2017)\, the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL) in Marrakech (2019)\, and ART X Lagos (2017). He has exhibited in group shows across Nigeria\, Ghana\, Germany\, France\, the UK\, and the USA. \nNotable residencies and collaborations include the Arthouse Contemporary residency and Open Studios (2016)\, the Colours of Hope project with the Children Living with Cancer Foundation (2014)\, and the American Nigerian Cultural Collaborative Project with the US Consulate and Nike Art Gallery (2013). Onadipe has held four solo exhibitions including Connecting the Dots (2018)\, and his work has been presented at START Art Fair\, London (2018) and Art Context Miami (2019). \n—- \nThe Earth Holds Our Names\nApril 19 – May 31\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: 2 PM – 6 PM\nArtist Talk: 4 PM\n10 Omo Osagie Street\, Ikoyi\, Lagos \nDetails by @sotogallery. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.

SUMMARY:Woven & Built in Tandem [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:Rele\, Lagos is pleased to present ‘Woven and Built: In Tandem‘\, a two-person exhibition featuring works by Marcellina Oseghale Akpojotor and Patrick Akpojotor\, marking ten years of shared life and practice. \nWorking across sculpture and textile\, their distinct approaches unfold side by side\, tracing a decade of making and building together. \nMarcellina Akpojotor works with layered fabric\, drawing on family photographs\, archival imagery\, and everyday materials. Her surfaces carry memory and lived experience\, where private and collective histories remain visible. \nPatrick Akpojotor approaches painting through the logic of building. Figures emerge through beams\, frames\, and planes that suggest structure and tension. In this exhibition\, he moves between single figures and double portraits\, considering how people occupy spaces. \nJoin us on Saturday\, May 9\, from 2-6 pm for the Opening reception. \nDetails by @relegallery. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.
