The inaugural edition of the Re:assemblages Symposium, jointly presented by Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation (Y.S.F.) within the framework of the second edition of the Re:assemblages programme, took place from November 4th-5th, 2025.

Framed around Ecotones, The Living Archive, Annotations and The Short Century, the symposium explored transitional zones as sites of renewal, considered archives and libraries as future-shaping practices, attended to gaps and silences in the archive, and revisited Africa’s twentieth-century histories of independence and cultural production.

Across panels, interactive workshops, roundtables, and performances, the programme was shaped by practitioners, scholars, artists and cultural workers whose contributions deepened our understanding of archives histories of the African and diasporic world.
