The CCA Archives Project invites applications for Archives in Practice, a two-day artist workshop taking place on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 May 2026 at CCA, Lagos.
This workshop will bring together eight Lagos-based artists for a focused, hands-on engagement with the CCA, Lagos archive. Participants will be introduced to the collection, work through a series of critical thinking exercises drawn from the archive, and develop a response piece exploring the curatorial and archival process. The workshop is intimate by design (eight places only) to allow for depth of engagement with both the materials and each other.
