Nigeria: Fashion Intersects With Arts in Lasgidi Exhibition

2 November 2025

Contemporary African art is evolving astronomically and LasGidi is a hub, expressed in several media that refuse simple categorization. Our culture is multifaceted, layered like the city itself, each stratum revealing new treasures, new truths, new ways of being bold.

This Lagos Art Week, Ini Gallery presents LASGIDI, an exhibition where art and fashion intersect in ways that inspire. Tola Wewe, Victor Ekpuk, Anthony Nsofor, Jamila Okubo, Fola David, Anjoreen Couture and Idera Oyeneye showcase rare and unique pieces that boldly express the depth, complexity, and unapologetic brilliance of African creativity across paintings, wearables, and sensory experiences . These artists understand what Lagos has always known: that true expression requires layers of meaning, of technique, of courage.

From traditional motifs reinterpreted through contemporary lenses to wearable art that transform everyday adornment into powerful statements, each piece in this exhibition invites deeper engagement. Look once and see beauty. Look again and discover philosophy. Look closer still and find revolution.

Each work is a layer. Each artist, a voice !
