SUMMARY:Alternative Heritage in Time: Who Sabi? [Roundtable Discussion]
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, a project focused on Alternative Heritage in Nigeria has engaged in critical inquiry\, digital documentation\, and workshops to highlight marginalized cultural expressions.\nAs the project concludes\, a roundtable discussion titled “Alternative Heritage in Time: Who Sabi?” aims to reflect on the processes and motivations behind the work. \nIt will address key issues such as agency in preservation\, ownership of narratives\, and the validity of different types of knowledge. The discussion seeks to critically re-examine the role of various stakeholders\, interrogate motivations for prioritizing certain narratives\, scrutinize the implications of the term “Alternative Heritage\,” evaluate the ethics of digital preservation\, and ultimately chart a path forward for more ethical and community-centered heritage practices. \nDetails by @nationalmuseum_lagos. \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: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 (Update! Now closing 16th May)\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:"What Shaped Us Does Not Disappear" [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to present “What Shaped Us Does Not Disappear\,” a solo exhibition by German-Nigerian artist Joke Amusan\, opening on Sunday\, March 8 at 2 PM \nThe works inhabit space like bodies in a gentle conversation\, revealing the bonds that hold us. Hanging from branches and reaching into space\, they bridge the human and natural worlds.

SUMMARY:“J’ai vu des choses que j’ai imaginées” (I saw things I imagined) [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the preview of Rachel Marsil’s (@rachel.marsil) first solo exhibition in Nigeria\, on 7 March from 4pm. \nOpening during @lagosgalleryweekend \, and the second presentation within FF Projects’ year-long residency at Alára Lagos\, the exhibition brings together works made over an 18-month period (2024–2025)\, during which the artist turned her focus toward the interior lives of her ever-present female figures. \nThis series also reflects the artist’s own journey into Africa\, and how what began as an observational and curious practice\, evolved into a welcoming community that she was decidedly part of. As such\, these works allow a glimpse into what happens when you cross the boundary of diasporic imagination into local reality.\n•\n📅Opening 7 March (16.00-18.00). On view until 6 April at Alára \n🏛️As part of a year-long @_ff_projects residency at @alaralagos \nDetails by @nothingtodoinlagos. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.

SUMMARY:Ilé Àdúà; The Sacred Codes [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:Nomadic Art Gallery presents Ilé Àdúà; The Sacred Codes\, a duo exhibition by Faith Omole (@faithomole_m) and Paul Ayihawu (@ayihawu02)\, running from 06 – 28 March\, 2026. \nThis exhibition reimagines prayer as a universal human practice\, not just a singular religious act\, but a spectrum of intentional actions through which people seek alignment\, clarity\, and transformation. Expanding beyond devotion\, prayer unfolds here through meditation\, manifestation\, silence\, visualization\, and embodied attention\, becoming a technology of presence that shapes both inner and outer realities. \nRooted in the living metaphysical language of Nsịbịdị\, the exhibition transforms visual codes into a connective system that translates invisible states of consciousness into form\, positioning art itself as an active form of prayer. \nThrough Faith Omole’s focus on prayer as action and Paul Ayihawu’s exploration of prayer as inner state\, the exhibition creates an immersive space where ritual\, stillness\, intention\, and awareness converge. \n📅 Opening Reception: 3:00 PM\, Friday\, March 6\, 2026\n📍 Venue: Nomadic Art Gallery\, 22 Adetokunbo Ademola Street\, Victoria Island\, Lagos\n🗓️ On view through: March 28\, 2026 [Gallery is closed on Sundays] \nEvent Details by @nomadic.ag. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.

SUMMARY:Inclusivity: Widening the Frame [+234 Art Fair 2026]
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 edition of +234 Art Fair is guided by the theme Inclusivity— a commitment to seeing more\, not just showing more. Inclusivity is not about adding new doors\, but about removing the walls that quietly shape who gets seen. Every art scene is shaped by choices that reflect access and privilege just as much as talent. This year\, the fair widens the frame\, moving beyond familiar narratives to embrace the breadth of creative expression across Nigeria. Through collaborations with universities\, art schools\, NGOs\, and cultural custodians\, +234 Art Fair brings overlooked voices into focus. We have been across the nation searching for promising new artists and this year\, we are bringing the unseen into view. \n*REGISTRATION REQUIRED* \nDetails by @plus234art. \n*** \nDisclaimer: Unless explicitly stated\, ArtGuideAfrica does not own\, endorse and is not affiliated with any event/organisation included on this event calendar.

SUMMARY:Where\, Then\, Does Memory Reside?
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition asks a simple question: where does memory live?\nWe often think of memory as something held in the mind But these works suggest otherwise. They propose that memory can live in the body\, in our skin\, our posture\, repetition and in silence. \nWhere\, then\, does memory reside?\nPerhaps closer than we think. \nRead more on art.creath.io \nExhibiting Artists \n1.
