Two new film commissions shot on location in Nigeria. 'The Fist' is a portrait of the Guinness brewery in Lagos, where histories of colonialism, industrialisation and labour collide; while 'Faluyi' follows protagonist Ife on a journey tracing familial legacy and mysticism in ancestral lands.
Building on Akingbade’s interests in history, placemaking, legacy and power, these are her most ambitious productions to date. Image credit: Ayo Akingbade, 'The Fist' (2022). Film still. Courtesy the artist.
