Our next Unfinished Conversations Book Club reading is almost here. 📚
This month, we will be reading This Mournable Body by Tsitsi Dangarembga, a moving and thought-provoking novel exploring memory, survival, identity, and postcolonial realities.
The book is available now at the CCA Lagos Library.
Stop by, pick up a copy, and hurry to read before the next meeting. ✨

We ended the Chord Notes: Body Rhythms in the city exhibition with an evening of scent, music, and good energy.
Our final gathering brought together Make Your SCENT with @abela_olfactoryartcentre and the Closing Party hosted by WeAreAllChemicals ( @blessing_ewona ) , creating an evening where fragrance, rhythm, and movement became ways of holding memory and celebrating collective experience.
Through the scent workshop, participants explored fragrance as a personal and cultural archive, creating compositions that reflected memory, identity, and emotion. As the evening unfolded into sound, WeAreAllChemicals ( @blessing_ewona ) carried us through a genre-fluid set of Afrobeat, electronic, and underground sounds, closing the exhibition on a note that felt energetic, intimate, and alive.
Big thank you @ccalagos , ludi_org , @artofabela , @awhitespacelagos , @abela_olfactoryartcentre
Thank you to everyone who joined us across the exhibition, talks, workshops, and closing celebration.
Until the next time, let’s continue dreaming new worlds! 🚀

Dear friends of CCA Lagos,
Thank you for your continued interest in our space. We would like to kindly clarify that CCA Lagos is a library and art gallery dedicated to research, learning, and artistic engagement, and not a co-working or workspace facility.
We look forward to welcoming you to explore, read, reflect, and experience the space with us soon. ✨
With love,
Team CCA Lagos

Throwback to the launch of the Archives Digitisation Project, presented in collaboration with @ifranigeria .
Under the theme Institutional Memory and the Dynamics of Agency in Contemporary (Art) Archives, the gathering brought together critical voices to reflect on the role of archives in shaping cultural narratives and collective memory.
