About
LAC – Laboratory for Creative Activities is a non-profit cultural association, founded in 1995, based at the old prison of Lagos. Designed by Cottinelli Telmo, this building has its foundations laid on an old convent, making it an integral part of the local history. By reformulating the building's use, LAC instigates an interesting dichotomy of place highlighted by the stark contrast of restrictive prison walls vs. the freedom of creativity and independent expression. On becoming a creative space, the building has found a new lease of life with its cells being used as workshop areas for artists, whose work contributes to the revitalization of the building, giving it a new story.
