In celebration of the 50-year sister-city partnership between Lagos and Atlanta, the US Consulate General in Lagos has, in partnership with Rele Arts Foundation, launched the Lagos-Atlanta Artist Exchange.

As part of the exchange, Atlanta-based artists Myra Greene and Artemus Jenkins arrived in Lagos earlier this month for a residency program. During their stay, Greene and Jenkins have been engaging in cultural research, collaborating with Nigerian artists, and creating works inspired by Lagos’s vibrant cultural scene.
