2021 SPECIAL PROJECTS  



Each year, ART X Lagos includes a series of Special Projects that highlight today’s most experimental mediums and the multidisciplinary artists working in them. The practices of these artists often fall outside of commercial remits and conceptual considerations of contemporary life which further enrich the atmosphere of ART X Lagos.
