To support The Museum of Things Unseen, the Lagos Biennial’s fifth edition in fall 2026, which offers a platform for contemporary art in the city. The Biennial fosters the production, critical reception, and dialogue on contemporary art in Africa and explores contested histories through site-specific installations. The 2026 Biennial seeks to recontextualize rarely or never seen works, including a selection by US and Indigenous artists, through artistic interventions and critical dialogues. The creation of this speculative museum space in Lagos opens questions on art’s visibility and affords new interpretive frameworks for the works presented. It also brings them in dialogue with African and global audiences and deepens the conversation around their socio-political significance while advancing critical reflections on museum-making.
