About Yinka Shonibare Foundation

We provide facilities and support (to African, African diaspora and international artists, researchers, scholars and other creative individuals), in the research and development of their skills in the Liberal and Fine Arts, Creative Industries, Environment and Agriculture fields of study and practice. We run annual programmes of residencies and fellowship residencies for artists and curators at Guest Artists Space Foundation (GAS) a purpose built residence and studio in Lagos, an eco Farm in Ijebu Nigeria and Guest Projects space in London. During the last couple of years we have run these digitally. The programme supports trans-continental working relationships, establishing sustainable networks between the interdisciplinary practitioners, researchers, local and global communities. Supporting partnerships and collaboration across multiple disciplines, countries and cultures (across the fields of contemporary art, design, architecture, conservation, agriculture, environmental and curatorial practices). Encouraging cultural exchange and deeper knowledge between Africa and the rest of the world to promote mutual understanding of cultural differences through developing exchange programmes, hosting exhibitions, talks, workshops, events and performances and collaborating with cultural institutions in Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world.
