ENCOUNTERS - OPEN STUDIO

Peter D. Abayomi & Lương Huệ Trinh

Sound • Ritual • Performance

What happens when artists meet through listening?

Come through for ENCOUNTERS, an open studio session exploring what can emerge when artists meet through sound, movement, ritual, improvisation, and shared presence.

Born from a recent encounter in Nigeria between Lagos-based multidisciplinary artist and composer Peter D. Abayomi, and Vietnamese multimedia composer, sound artist, and electro-acoustic improviser Lương Huệ Trinh, marking her first performance in Nigeria.

Instead of finished works, we’re opening up our process — the questions, experiments, gestures, sounds, and exchanges shaping how the work is made.

ENCOUNTERS invites you into a space of making and listening — what happens when we truly listen to one another, when artistic traditions from different regions meet in the vastness of the universe?

🗓️: 25th September 2026
📍: 12 Odunsi street Off Bariga Lagos
⏰: 5:30PM

Come listen with us. Come into the process.

On 21st July 2026, the Eran Jije Ensemble performed at the German Consulate Lagos reception dinner in honour of @aussenminister @auswaertigesamt - German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs.

To have our music in that room, and leave an impact, means everything.

We shared the evening with other dignitaries from Lagos cultural sector, business community, politics, and the diplomatic corps.

It was a great honour to be part of the celebrations of German-Nigerian cooperation - driving commercial investments, exploring business partnerships, and strengthening cultural exchange.

Shout out to @falanamusic and @jiiresmith for filling the room with your incredible voices

And thank you to @ekohotels for the warm hospitality. taken in Eko Hotels and Suites by @eranjijeproject

The past week, we had the pleasure of hosting Ni Ilaje - an audio visual presentation expanding on our work at the ilaje waterfront community. With reactive visuals and field recordings, we created an experience that reflects life here shaped by water, waste, and the rhythm of everyday life. Thank you to our collaborator @skodo Lee. Thank you to our host @eranjije and the broader isale akoka community for accommodating us.

POS (Point of Sail) is a body of work developed in the Ilaje, Isale Akoka waterfront community in Lagos.

It responds to waste systems, migration through water, neglect, and flooding as they shape everyday life along the waterfront. The work is developed through time spent in the community, moving through observation, conversations, sound recordings, and the materials found within the environment.

These images trace moments, conditions, and encounters that shaped the process of the work.

Join us this Friday at the waterfront community for a visual presentation and sound performance that take elements from our research here.

Address: Down Ajayi Olaiya Street off Obadiah, Pako, Akoka Lagos.
Date: 19th, June.
Time: 5-10pm

This project was sponsored by @goetheinstitut_nigeria and @fordfoundation through the Claiming the future project. Supported by @eranjijeproject by @eranjijeproject

We are glad to present POS (Point of Sail), a body of work from the Ilaje, Isale Akoka waterfront focused on environmental consciousness and awareness. It extends our search into
life around the lagoon and how water shapes movement, work, and everyday living through sound, performance, and installation.

We present NI ILAJE, a sound performance, installation, and projection experience developed from POS under the @goetheinstitut_nigeria Claiming the Future program, hosted and supported by @eranjijeproject
The work grew out of time spent in the community listening, recording, and talking with people, moving slowly through moments and observations.

At the centre is a boat installation we built as part of the project, placed at the waterfront. It sits by the lagoon within the community, which is inspired by fishing, transport, and everyday activity on the water.

Sound performance by NNF, featuring @skodo_lee interactive visual projections.

Date: 19th June,2026
Time: 5:00pm - 10:00pm

We invite you to experience the presentation and the community. by @eranjijeproject

Participants are asked to bring their own discarded materials and will receive instructions on methods such as embroidery, applique, and weaving, and experimentally apply them to pre-made printed textiles aiming to visualise waste objects as “activated objects” and portraying local Nigerian teenagers from the Isale Akoka area in Bariga as key players in the circular economy.

The first iterations of the Circular Heroes workshop were hosted by Rafael Kouto @rafaelkouto in collaboration with Peter D. Abayomi @iam_peterbata at Eran Jije Studio @eranjijeproject in Bariga, at G.A.S. Foundation @gasfoundation in Lagos, Nigeria, and Maison Shift @maisonshift in Zürich, Switzerland.

Isale Akoka came alive with powerful, community-rooted activations by the No New Friends (NNF) collective @nonewfriends_nnf, hosted by Eran Jije Project @Eranjijeproject .

Responding to the theme “Environmental Stewardship,” the artists explored the community’s history of land built on reclaimed refuse — transforming this narrative into sound, movement, and installation.

Their text-based mural became the lyrics of their performance song, leading a procession through the community, a sound room overlooking the water and Third Mainland Bridge, and participatory art-making with recycled materials.

“Point of Sail” was a thoughtful, sensory journey that invited everyone to reflect on place, history, and responsibility.
