With Love From Home on View at Alliance Française Lagos

One of the works

A group exhibition titled With Love From Home will open tomorrow, July 11, at the Alliance Française de Lagos in Nigeria. Bringing together the works of seven emerging and established artists connected through the Badagry Young Contemporaries (BYC) collective. 

Featuring works by Andrew Nathan Oshodobo, Mariam Olubunmi Aliyu, Muktar Mustafa, Muyideen Olayinka, Olanrewaju Olagooke, Ashele Isreal, and Sejiro Mesewaku. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed-media practices, the artists explore ideas of memory, belonging, identity, family, and the emotional connections that define home.

Organised in collaboration with Badagry Young Contemporaries, With Love From Home invites viewers to reflect on what “home” means in a rapidly changing world. The exhibition examines home not only as a physical space but also as a repository of personal histories, cultural traditions, relationships, and shared experiences.

The project represents another milestone for the BYC initiative, which continues to provide a platform for artists from Badagry and beyond to engage with contemporary artistic discourse while maintaining strong connections to their cultural roots.

With Love from Home is co-curated by Paul Ayihawu and Ladunni Lambo. The exhibition opens on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Alliance Française de Lagos, Mike Adenuga Centre, 9 Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, and will remain on view through August 1.
