RMB Latitudes 2026 | Nigeria Focus

Each year, RMB Latitudes Art Fair spotlights one African country through its International Focus programme, fostering exchange and visibility across the continent.

In 2026, the programme turns to Nigeria, bringing together more than 30 artists working across painting, photography, textile and sculpture.

As one of the most expansive presentations of contemporary Nigerian practice within a cross-continental framework, Nigeria Focus reflects a breadth of voices and approaches rarely brought together between West and Southern Africa.

Nigeria Focus unfolds as a cross-border exhibition, beginning in Lagos (15 April 2026) and culminating at RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg (22–24 May 2026).

The Lagos presentation offers a curated preview of selected artists, situating the works within their local context before the full exhibition is presented in Johannesburg, connecting audiences, collectors and institutions across West and Southern Africa.
