What excites me most about Lagos Gallery Weekend is how it fosters a genuine symbiosis between art professionals and institutions, sharpening our collective voice and creating a sense of shared purpose across the ecosystem.

Asibi’s Route

I usually begin at Adegbola Art, whose impressive permanent collection of Nigerian modernist works fills a long-standing institutional gap, often pairing historical depth with a contemporary sensibility. From there, I head to Yenwa, a space that keeps you guessing in the best way; its programme is fresh, dynamic, and consistently introduces homegrown and diasporan artists you may not have encountered before. I like to end at O’DA Art, where the experience feels almost labyrinthine, surrounded by beautiful art objects and overlooking a sprawling garden, the atmosphere offering the perfect, unhurried antidote to close out the day.
