@badrutemitayo_latest solo exhibition, The Clothes Our Parents Wore feels like memory you can touch, El Badru used garments as vessels for storytelling, each piece telling its own story yet all pieces held together echoes something familiar: history as lived experience. It makes me reflect on how what we have today will become history tomorrow.

I visited @akodiorisa an intimate, ecological, process forward sanctuary held entirely by women.
Everything here begins from scratch.Beads are formed by hand, then become design.
Earth is shaped and baked into pots, returning as walls, pillars, and structure.
Cloth is dyed in the adìrẹ ẹlẹ́kọ tradition and Painting unfolds not as performance, but as quiet continuation.
Nothing here feels rushed. I found myself slowing down. Grounded in a way that felt both unfamiliar and deeply necessary, an escape from the restless rhythm of city life.
There is something about the early morning sun on mud walls, and my brown skin, a softness, a return.
What also becomes clear is the intentionality behind this space.
Through Akódì, Prof @moyokediji does not simply “empower” women a word that often feels insufficient. Instead, he creates the conditions for women to exist within their own authority.
There is an understanding here: that women are not peripheral to creation, but central as co-creators within both cultural and spiritual systems. And so, they are given room to build, to shape, to imagine, and to sustain.
Akódì becomes more than a site, it becomes a living archive. A place where knowledge, lineage, and cultural authority are continuously gathered through the act of making.
And in its quiet way, it teaches you something simple, but urgent: how to slow down, how to pay attention, how to return to the essence of life.
I will return. Again and again.

@ayobami.ogungbe sculptural work at the @blackmuseartfestival makes me reflect on how we are a co-creator with Nature. The teardrop memorial form sits quietly in the landscape and over time, grass begins to grow through and around it.
Watching it, I’m reminded that nature isn’t separate from us. It’s part of the process. The landscape gently softens what feels permanent, allowing time, weather, and growth to shape the work in ways the artist alone cannot control.

The Ephemerality Of Nature
We start the year with Beauty and Love.
This is my Reality.
A film by @adewaleeeeee
Shot by @williamdabor

CLOSING THIS YEAR WITH IMMENSE GRATITUDE, JOY & GRACE ✨
I've wanted to capture an elegantly dressed model with my pieces, ever since I had a sculpture of mine featured in a @Vicnateng campaign with @ekuedewor, lensed by @morganotagburuagu in 2023. I wanted to recreate something similar to that with the goal of producing affordable prints, and also as a means of positioning my sculptures how I truly view them — as sensual, poetic, high-end looking pieces.
Last year, I hired a model, & pretty much a whole production team, and collaborated with a photographer. We had a great shoot, moodboard and all, but over a year later, they've simply refused to send the photos 💔
Despite my newfound trust issues, I decided to try again this year with other photographers, and I’m so glad I did 🫶🏽
Shout-out to my beautiful muse, @abiola_sonaike, to @vicnateng for generously providing me with the gorgeous outfits, and the wonderful photographers, Wami Aluko and Emmanuel Bulley @cr8trlife.
Beyond the beauty & elegance of these images, I hope this post inspires someone to keep going, even when past experiences might've discouraged you.
P.S: There are plenty more photos in the vault. Not all will become prints (some are more fashion than art), and most of these aren’t final edits, they're just teases of what’s coming with next year’s print release.
