DELA Screens at Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art Lagos
From bottle caps to monumental global artworks, the story behind the art is just as powerful as the work itself.
On March 8, 2026, Lagos hosted a screening of DELA: The Making of El Anatsui, a biographical documentary exploring the creative journey of one of Africa’s most celebrated artists. Directed by Oyiza Adaba and produced by Africa-Related over a ten-year period, the screening was held in collaboration with the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art as part of Lagos Gallery Week 2026.
The event took place at the museum’s premises within Pan-Atlantic University, drawing an audience of students, staff, and art enthusiasts.
Attendees were also invited to explore the history behind the work of El Anatsui. His early wood carvings, including the famous wooden trays that earned him the nickname "TV Man," are on permanent display at the YSMA in Lagos.
