A Presentation and Walkthrough of Images by Nengi Nelson
Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on June 5th, 2025, for Residency Open Studio, a presentation and walkthrough of completed and ongoing photography projects by current resident Nengi Nelson. Driven by a genuine desire to connect with the local art community and gather meaningful feedback, Nengi invites reflection and conversations around her evolving artistic practice.
Nengi's open studio will showcase four distinct projects, each exploring different themes and moments in her artistic journey. Rooted in curiosity and experimentation, her work focuses on questions of identity, both personal and collective, while navigating the relationships between space and experience. Whether crafting thoughtful narratives through images or spatial design, capturing fleeting scenes on walks or from moving vehicles, or experimenting with form and perspective, her practice is a meditation on presence and perception. This open studio is an invitation to view and interact with images and elements from a visual archive of her non-linear journey, one shaped by intuition and experimentation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nengi Nelson is a Lagos-based freelance Photographer and visual storyteller. She explores identity, choice, vulnerability and social acceptance in her works. For her, identity serves as a means to introspect and question ‘’being’’ beyond social norms, especially in African spaces. She explores choice, how humans decide who they become and the factors that permit identity in individuals.
