Lagos Biennial

Yesterday evening was definitely one to remember as friends of the Lagos Biennial came together to celebrate what we have been, what we continue to be as we presented our inaugural publication, in one of Africa’s most culturally dynamic landscapes. To us, the celebration was a moment of acknowledgement, of the artists, curators, and citizens who contribute to the cultural infrastructure that sustains this city. At the same time, it had also been a moment to face the future: proceeds from the volume support the creation of the Lagos Biennial’s new home: Àkéte Collection - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Lagos - recognising that while institutions matter, their form must reflect the spirit of place.
