We at iBAND Magazine continue to celebrate visual artists from Africa and across the global creative community whose works contribute meaningfully to the evolving language of contemporary art. Through exhibitions, cultural conversations, and artistic collaborations, we remain committed to spotlighting creators whose practices reflect innovation, identity, storytelling, and the enduring influence of artistic exchange across continents. It is within this spirit that we proudly highlight REINVENTION, a remarkable group exhibition of drawings and paintings presented by Golan Heights Renaissance in Lagos.

Opening on Saturday, June 6, 2026, and running through June 14 at 8A, Karimu Kotun, Victoria Island, Lagos, REINVENTION gathers together a remarkable collection of artists whose works reflect experimentation, emotional depth, social consciousness, and the ever-changing language of contemporary African art.

The exhibition features the works of Ademola Akinleye MGHR, Emmanuel Isiuwe MGHR, Ogbemi Heymann MGHR, Thomas Oghale Agboge MGHR, Dolapo Ogunnusi MGHR, Gbenga Olatunji-Aguda MGHR, and Paul Ayokhai MGHR. Through drawings and paintings, these artists present layered interpretations of identity, human experience, spirituality, urban realities, memory, and transformation.

The title REINVENTION speaks directly to the current phase of African contemporary art, where artists continue to reshape visual traditions while creating fresh narratives for modern audiences. Across the exhibition, viewers encounter expressive figures, textured abstractions, symbolic compositions, and energetic colour relationships that reveal both personal introspection and collective cultural reflection.

The exhibition is expected to draw collectors, curators, art enthusiasts, cultural stakeholders, and lovers of contemporary African art from across Lagos and beyond.

Supported by Kewalram Chanrai Group and Squeast, REINVENTION also reinforces the growing importance of institutional and corporate support in sustaining Nigeria’s expanding creative ecosystem.

As Lagos continues to strengthen its place as one of Africa’s major cultural capitals, exhibitions such as REINVENTION remain important reminders that art is not merely decoration. It is documentation, resistance, imagination, and the constant reinvention of identity through visual language.

For nine days in Victoria Island, Golan Heights Renaissance will become a meeting point for ideas, colours, stories, and artistic transformations of  a living space where contemporary African art continues to evolve boldly and unapologetically.
