RMB Latitudes Art Fair has designated Nigeria as the focus for its 2026 edition of the International Focus programme, which annually highlights a different African nation through exhibitions aimed at fostering cultural exchange. The programme will kick off with a curated exhibition opening at Yenwa Gallery in Lagos on March 26, 2026, setting the stage for a cross-continental project that bridges Nigeria and Southern Africa.

This initiative will feature contemporary Nigerian artists showcasing their work at the launch event in Lagos. Following this, the Nigerian Pavilion at the RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg is set for May 22-24, 2026, creating additional opportunities for these artists to reach a broader international audience. The event underscores Nigeria's vibrant art scene and its growing influence in the global art market.

The selection of Nigeria by RMB Latitudes Art Fair underscores the importance of African nations in global cultural narratives and highlights ongoing efforts to promote artistic collaboration across the continent. By spotlighting Nigeria, the fair aims to enhance its cultural representation in international forums, encouraging more engagement, understanding, and appreciation of African art on the world stage.
