The Fist explores intersecting narratives of legacy, labour and architecture. Ayo Akingbade focuses on the 1962 opening of the Guinness factory in Ikeja, Lagos, linking Nigeria’s post-independence era to global industrialisation. The film observes the factory floor, where the building becomes a central character. Through documenting its inner workings, Akingbade reveals the quiet politics embedded in daily production and consumption. The piece reflects broader themes of power and colonial legacy. Akingbade’s practice often captures rapid social shifts, grounded in personal and cultural experience.
