The foundation of the shelf system at the Library on the Lagoon is a mesh wire structure, embedded with the material histories of the Lagos Lagoon. Fragments of an 1861 addendum to the 1860 cession of Lagos are bound into its surface alongside mangrove bark, seaweed, and seashells—organic and archival traces held in the same grid.

Together, they mark the lagoon’s history as a colonial territory. Presented as fragments, these materials form a fractured grammar of geology, knowledge, and history, inviting attention to what is held, what slips through, and what floats above and below the water’s surface.

The Library on the Lagoon will be closed today for maintenance.

We’re taking a short pause to reset the space and will reopen on Friday.

If you’re planning your visit, we have some great moments coming up:

Friday, 11AM: Panel — Imagining the Lagos Lagoon

Saturday, 4PM: Film Screening — Bound for Lagos presented by Cinema by the Sea

We look forward to welcoming you back on the water.

The Library on the Lagoon invites the public to reflect on our relationship with the water that surrounds Lagos.

Through a series of prompts crafted by Adeyosola Adeniran, Maryam Kazeem, Nisreen Kaj, and Joshua Segun-Lean, the lagoon is explored as a dynamic social space: unfixed, evolving, and open to collective imagination.

What questions would you pose to the public about Lagos and its lagoon?

Experience the lagoon more closely with Boat trips on Wednesday & Friday at 4pm, and Saturday at 5pm.

Spend time on the lagoon through listening, reflection, and action.

At the center of the experience is a prompt:
“In the future, the Lagos Lagoon will—”
Your response is recorded, transcribed, and added to a growing archive. You can then select words to type, which attempts to power a trash-collection mechanism in the water.

Across the barge, other works invite you to:

Work with a map of the lagoon –marking how much of it you would claim, and reflecting on ideas of ownership and access.

Choose to wade into the water to submit a message or complaint, creating a direct, physical encounter with the lagoon.

Read through a series of notes, images, and reflections that position the lagoon as both subject and witness.

You are invited to move through the space at your own pace –listen, read, contribute, or simply observe.

See you on the water!

Did you know that 80% of Lagos’s shoreline has been lost over the past 50 years? The Library on the Lagoon reflects on this transformation and the British colonial reclamation of approximately 1,000 acres of swamp between 1904 and 1946. These events continue to shape how we engage with, experience, and imagine the lagoon today.
What prompts would you pose to the public about the loss of the Lagos shoreline?
Share a prompt with us via DM for the opportunity to have it included in the upcoming artwork 80 percent.

Manifesto Is the Weapon for the Future emerges from an experimental writing workshop exploring the space between the manifesto as a literary object and the manifesto as material intervention.

The exhibition probes the idea of printing publics — how they are engaged, transformed, and rediscovered across digital, public, and imagined space.

The featured artists approach print as a site of spatial justice, coded communication, collective memory, and refusal.

Join us for the exhibition and a special Artist Talk.

Dates: 20–24 February 2026
Time: 12pm – 6pm
Artist Talk: 4pm, 20 February
Venue: Son.ne, 17 Maitama Sule, Ikoyi, Lagos
Workshop Curator: Maryam Kazeem ()

Featuring:

In our conversation with Tobi Bolaji-Idowu on Connecting The Dots at Goethe-Institut Nigeria, we explore why cultural memory matters and how the ways we preserve, interpret, and share it shape the futures we can imagine.

Through its three-tiered structure, and by connecting with museums nationwide — from national institutions to private and community archives —it has helped create new networks, resources, and strategies for making Nigeria’s cultural memory visible, accessible, and actively engaged with.
