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.

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. It provides emerging filmmakers with meaningful visibility and recognition that will help strengthen Nigeria’s growing cultural legacy. \nThe theme of IDENTITY invites filmmakers to reflect on what defines us individually and collectively. Entries may explore ideas such as belonging\, transformation\, heritage\, self-discovery\, language\, gender\, faith\, or memory. What matters most is authenticity\, how each story captures the truth of Nigerian identity through the filmmaker’s unique lens. \nCreated to stand alongside NLNG’s respected The Nigeria Prize for Literature and The Nigeria Prize for Science\, The Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts brings global attention to Nigeria’s vibrant creative sector\, which remains one of the most dynamic forces shaping culture and opportunity across the continent. The Prize celebrates works that reflect our nation’s resilience\, complexity\, and imagination. \nWith a prize value of USD $20\,000\, the award marks the rise of what is set to become one of Africa’s most important prizes for creative excellence. \nThe winner(s) will be announced in October 2026 at the NLNG Grand Award Night in Lagos. \n\n\n\n\nAwards & Prizes\n\nThe Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts 2026\nUSD $20\,000 \n\n\n\nRules & Terms\n\n\nPrize Cycle\n• The 2026 Prize cycle opens for submissions on 1 February 2026.\n• Entries will close on 30 April 2026.\n• No entries will be accepted after the deadline.\n• The winner will be announced in October 2026 at NLNG’s Grand Award Night. \nEligibility Criteria \n• The Prize is exclusively for Nigerians aged 18–35 (applies to director\, producer & writer)\, irrespective of residence.\n• Only completed non-fiction documentary films are eligible.\n• Documentary films must have been completed between April 2024 and April 2026.
