Presented in partnership with Africa Related, this event marks the grand finale of Lagos Gallery Weekend (LGW 2026) at the museum.DELA offers an intimate, moving, and visually arresting exploration of the life and artistic journey of El Anatsui, Africa’s most globally celebrated sculptor of the 21st century. More than a biography, the film is a tribute to the cultural depth and creative brilliance that define the artist’s practice—work that has reshaped global conversations about sculpture, form, and artistic freedom.The name “Dela,” meaning “Deliverer” in the Ewe language, captures the heart of the story.

Through teaching, mentoring, and an open studio practice that welcomed community members into the creative process, his impact extends far beyond his monumental installations.This documentary journeys through the trials, triumphs, and deeply human experiences that shaped both the man and the legend. It brings forward the voices of those who have walked alongside him—friends, studio assistants, students, and community members—revealing the layers of simplicity, complexity, and quiet brilliance that define Anatsui’s world.Why You Should AttendGet a rare behind-the-scenes look into the creative universe of an artistic icon.Experience a powerful narrative about Africa’s cultural heritage and global artistic influence.Engage with fellow art lovers at the premier art museum in Lagos during LGW 2026.Be part of a celebration of creativity, community, and artistic legacy.This is more than a film screening—it is an encounter with history, artistry, and the spirit of an extraordinary creator.Admission is free but requires registration.Reserve your seat today.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e97c1910-1923-11f1-a5ba-eb0dde207660-rimg-w592-h740-dcfdcf48-gmir.jpg
