To commemorate British Airways’ strong association with Nigeria, art from local artists will be displayed across the lounge. The airline has launched a partnership with Akoje Gallery – founded by Maro Itoje and Khalil Akar – to curate an innovative new in-lounge exhibition featuring and celebrating guest artists. The first showcase of works is themed ‘New Beginnings’ to celebrate the lounge opening. The selected artists will centre their works around the chosen theme.
The first artists are:
- Olawunmi Banjo: Two paintings titled The Wait I and II
- Qozeem Abdul Rahman: A Large painting titled The Guardian
- Steve Ekpenisi: A large metal sculpture titled Ulaga
