SUMMARY:The Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts [Documentary Filmmaking]
DESCRIPTION:The Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts is a new platform that celebrates the power of storytelling and the brilliance of young Nigerian creators. \nIntroduced by NLNG as the newest category of The Nigeria Prizes in 2025. The 2026 award spotlights the art of documentary filmmaking. The Prize will focus on young Nigerians aged 18 to 35\, who are bold enough to capture Nigeria’s identity with authenticity\, depth\, and vision. Rooted in the belief that storytelling is the lifeblood of culture\, the Prize honours films that preserve our memories\, challenge our perceptions\, and inspire national pride.

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:Efuru and The Woman of The Lake [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from Flora Nwapa’s 1966 novel\, Efuru\, this exhibition takes its name and spirit from a woman who exists beyond the narrow definitions of fulfilment imposed upon her. Efuru is beautiful\, capable\, generous\, and deeply rooted in her community. Though her marriages fail and she is at times misunderstood or even vilified\, she is ultimately chosen by the Woman of the Lake\, a goddess of wealth\, beauty\, depth\, and abundance. Through this devotion\, Efuru finds renewal\, meaning\, and vindication. Her worth is not diminished by rejection; it is affirmed through alignment with her true self and with a feminine power that exists beyond societal approval.\n\n\n\nAt its heart\, Efuru and the Woman of the Lake is an ode to the strength of women; in communion with themselves and with one another. One of the book’s most resonant threads is its attention to everyday womanhood: women seen not only in moments of crisis or transcendence\, but in the quiet intimacy of daily life\, labour\, conversation\, care\, and companionship. While Efuru anchors the narrative\, it is through her relationships with other women: mothers\, traders\, friends\, and elders\, that we are invited into the social and emotional landscape of her world. This exhibition echoes that thread\, with many of the works depicting women and girls simply living\, working\, gathering\, and being.

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: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:Lagos Fanti Carnival\, An Afro-Brazilian Street Experience
DESCRIPTION:Africa’s biggest Afro-Brazilian street experience.\nApril 6\, 2026 📍Tafawa Balewa Square\nRegister to attend!\n\nThe Lagos Fanti Carnival is rooted in one of the Atlantic world’s most remarkable migrations. From the 1830s onward\, formerly enslaved Africans — many of Yoruba descent — began returning to West Africa from Brazil\, Cuba\, and the wider Americas. They came back transformed: shaped by decades of forced displacement\, yet carrying with them languages\, trades\, faith practices\, and street traditions they had refused to surrender.\n\n\nSETTLING LAGOS ISLAND \nThese returnees\, known in Lagos as the Aguda\, made their home on Lagos Island in neighbourhoods like Popo Aguda\, Olowogbowo\, Lafiaji\, and Brazilian Campos. By the 1880s\, they represented nearly a tenth of Lagos’s population. Their fingerprints are still visible in the city: in the Portuguese-inflected architecture along certain streets\, in dishes like frejon and acara\, and in the Catholic feast-day customs that became woven into community life. \n\n\nTHE BIRTH OF THE CARNIVAL \nThe Fanti Carnival emerged from this cultural fusion. The name is believed to stem from fantasia\, the Portuguese word for costume or imaginative dress\, while the tradition itself descends from the careta\, an Afro-Catholic form of masked street performance that the Aguda had known in Brazil. As they rebuilt their lives on Lagos Island\, these customs merged with Yoruba music and spirituality to create something new: a celebration that was neither wholly Brazilian nor wholly Yoruba\, but entirely its own.\n\n\n\n\n\nA TRADITION THAT ENDURES \nThe Fanti Carnival has been sustained by seven historic community associations rooted in the original Aguda settlements: Isale-Eko Woro\, Olowogbowo\, Okoo-Faji\, Lafiaji\, Okepopo\, Epetedo United Youth Movement\, and Brazilian Campos Carreta. Each brings its own colours\, choreography\, and neighbourhood identity to the procession. The carnival grew through the 20th century\, fell dormant for a period\, and has since been powerfully revived by these same intergenerational communities who kept the tradition alive in the first place. \n\n\n\n\nWHY IT MATTERS \nThe Lagos Fanti Carnival is one of Nigeria’s most layered cultural events — a celebration that is simultaneously a historical record\, a community gathering\, a creative platform\, and a statement of belonging. It connects Lagos Island to the broader story of the African diaspora\, to Brazil\, to the Atlantic world\, and to the enduring resilience of communities who carried their culture across oceans and kept it alive.To attend the Fanti Carnival is to witness history that has never stopped moving. \n\nDetails by @lagosfanticarnival. \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:Opening Reception: 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.

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.
