PUBLIC LECTURE – RESIDENCY RE-SOURCED

You’re invited!

The Residency Re-sourced program and Goethe-Institut Nigeria (@goetheinstitut_nigeria) warmly intive you to a inaugural Public lecture:

Institution-Building Tactics and artistic Thinking in Independent Art Spaces

What sustains independent art spaces – and how might we theorize their resilience?

Across Africa, independent art spaces have emerged as critical sites for cultural production, experimentation and community-building. This lecture invites us to examine how independent art spaces – and in particular artist residences spqces – can generate knowledge, foster mobility, and reimagine institutional possibilities.

Join us for the inaugural Residency Re-Sourced Public Lecture, a virtual gathering of minds exploring how independent art spaces across Africa are built, sustained and reimagined.
