September 2026 reviews explored space and materials in Paris and Lagos

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Art Report Africa’s September 2026 roundup considered four exhibitions in Paris and Lagos through space, memory and materials. Reviews of Sungi Mlengeya and Ladji Diaby explored spare painted settings and reused domestic objects, while accounts of Crosscurrents and Affinities and The Weight of Traces examined relationships between Nigerian artists. The writing emphasised formal differences and material experimentation rather than treating the shows as interchangeable expressions of identity.
