I wish I had friends like you in real life! It's so fucking hard being a gay Nigerian. The Nigerian 'friends' I have are homophobic as fuck and the gay friends I have are all White. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I love them. It's just that I'm still an outsider in some sense. How did you meet the queer Nigerians you know? from Anonymous

honestly? i didn’t know a single one until i moved to new york. i think it’s living in places like nyc, dc, oakland, probably atlanta. i’m sorry you’re lacking a tolerant Naija community, i was lucky enough to come out within one, i can’t imagine how hard it must be without it :( but we’re here online! i know it’s not much, but you’re definitely not alone. have you checked out www.soginaija.com? more of us are listed under the resources section. sending strength and love o! xx

Kelechi Amadi-Obi

Artist and photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi is a major force in the creative scene in Nigeria

African fashion is steadily developing, and West Africa is at the helm of this explosion. Creative talent accompanies the rise of emerging stylists, designers, make-up artists and of the different crafts that make up the building structure of the art and fashion scene.However, there are some who dared to be there, even when it seemed a relatively untapped market. Artist and photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi is a major force in the creative scene in Nigeria. His passion for art pulsed strong in the seventies, even though his dad had deep misgivings regarding him building a career in the arts.

beautiful. had to reblog. 

dynamicafrica:

For his latest series, ‘An Economy of Grace’, Nigerian-American artist Kehinde Wiley features women as his subjects - a first in the history of his works.

Currently on show at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York, Wiley teamed up with another current artistic force and the man behind the recent surge in success for French label Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci, who designed the costumes for the subjects in all of Wiley’s pieces.

Read a Huffington Post interview with Wiley about this exhibition.

tobia: Opening night of the MFA Thesis Show was incredible… Am so grateful that my parents are here to share in the final stages of commencement. As I rushed to my chaotic/messy studio early in the evening to change to the all-white everything scheme, I found a lovely bouquet of flowers on my drawing desk! Compliments of JSG! I can’t recall ever receiving a delivery of flowers with such a lovely note in my life! Needless to say I got pretty emotional. It was the perfect setting to start the evening. So, naturally, my parents had to have documentation. Ergo, Naija photo call. As for the rest? Oh, what a night! (Further documentation of the opening forthcoming.) Right now, I’m thoroughly bushed. This photo is my favorite from the photos taken from the night so far. It’s of my proud Papa and me, in my studio before the big shindig.  View Larger
