CCA Lagos opens a new exhibition on August 30—one that explores the profound realities of grief, memory, healing, and mental health.
Ka ọ dị mgbe anyi g’afu ozo, which translates as Until We See Next Time, opens on Grief Day and takes grief seriously as a subject — not as a theme to be handled carefully from a distance, but as something lived, carried and shared.
The exhibition brings together contemporary artists working across different practices to look at what grief actually does to people: how it shapes memory, how healing isn’t linear, and how mental health sits inside all of it whether we name it or not.
It’s the kind of exhibition that asks something of the people who walk through it. Loss is personal, but it’s also collective — and there’s something that happens when art holds that space honestly. The works in this exhibition are meant to challenge, but also to sit with you. To offer something, even when the subject doesn’t.
Timed to Grief Day, this feels intentional rather than ceremonial. These are conversations that don’t always find a room. This exhibition tries to be one.
