The initiative by the Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy, delivered in partnership with MADhouse by Tikera Africa, brought together 19 exceptional artists from across the country working in visual arts, sculpture, and digital media.

It culminated in a vibrant Open Studio event in Lagos, where the artists unveiled works exploring themes of hope, healing, identity, and the future of the continent.

Minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hon. Hannatu Musa Musawa, at the closing ceremony of the event in Lagos, emphasised the ministry’s commitment to leveraging the power of creativity as a tool for national development.

“Through this programme, we are investing not just in individual talents but in a collective movement – one that strengthens our national identity, fosters economic growth, and positions Nigerian creatives on the global stage.

“The artworks produced during this residency now form part of Nigeria’s National Art Collection and will be showcased at institutions, embassies, and cultural centers around the world as a testament to the transformative power of art in advancing social change,” the minister said.

Also, Special Adviser to the President on Art, Culture, Tourism & the Creative Economy, Moriam Ajaga, noted that, “The residency has been a phenomenal experience. It is a call to dream, heal, rebuild and unite through art.

“From the use of innovative platforms like Clap Nigeria to ensure accessible and data-informed artist selection, to the intense studio hours and workshops, every part of this journey has been
intentional. We are delighted to see the residents create art that tells the Nigerian story with courage, complexity, and grace.”

Founder of MADhouse by Tikera Africa, Bayo Omoboriowo, described the residency as a catalyst for change within Africa’s creative economy.

“We are nurturing a new generation of creatives who will not only exhibit, but scale, innovate, and solve socio-economic problems through art. Creatives who are brand builders and job creators. This is a launchpad for Africa’s creative economy.”

Guest to the Open Studio were drawn from across Nigeria’s art, culture, and policy spheres, offering them an immersive experience of the residents’ works which showcase monumental visual pieces that explored hope, healing, identity, and the future of the continent.

The event served as a convergence point for cultural dialogue, innovation, and national pride.

As the Federal Ministry and MADhouse continue to deepen their investment in creative capacity-building, the Reimagining Hope Residency sets a bold precedent, one that affirms the vital role of Nigerian artists in shaping not just the culture, but the conscience and future of the nation.
