PROJECT + PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT

Àsìkò Arts School

The flagship programme of CCA, Lagos, Àsìkò Arts school the foremost Arts educational space for African Artists and Curators. Originally conceived By Bisi Silva in 2010 Lagos with the aim of filling a gap in the educational system in Nigeria and many African countries, which tend to ignore the critical methodologies and histories that support artistic practice. The school takes up a format of part art workshop, part residency and part art academy. With a focus partially on technique and primarily on methodology, critical thinking and the implementation of conceptual ideas, the programme benefits individuals who have an interest in thinking through the conception and execution of work. Ama Ofeibea Tetteh has been Programme Manager for Àsìkò and associated collaborations since its 2022 relaunch.
