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.
