Here comes Freewater - Vntage Paradise (@vntageparadise), in permed hair and tight-fitted gothic black clothes; Wase Taiwo(@wasetaiwo), with his distinct skater-boi style and medicated glasses; and Ovie (@oovieaa) spotting gems on his teeth and a carefree, but far from careless, demeanor.We sat down with the trio in the days before and after Freewater Fest to see what organizing the biggest stage for Nigerian underground art and culture was like.Click on the link in our bio to read the full storyImage creditsSlide 1: Wale lala, Digital Photography, edited by Abdullahi Ali, 2025.Slide 2: Mayor the Keed, Freewater, Digital Photography. 2025.Slide 3: Wale lala, Digital Photography, edited by Abdullahi Ali, 2025.Slide 4: Mayor the Keed, Freewater, Digital Photograph. 2025Slide 5: Wale lala, Digital Photography, edited by Abdullahi Ali, 2025.#explore #underground #freewater by @theprocessafrica

“SLOW DOWN SAILOR, 2026” David Nnogo @david_nnogo For David, the making of “slow down sailor” began with intention and a vision. #theprocessfeature “It was a picture I took of my friend at the beach, I was looking for a reference that had very nice lighting, something that I could recreate in a more surreal tone.”Veering away from his usual art style which mainly involves line work, here, he wanted the colours to do the talking. Using a mix of blues & reds the goal was to create a surrealist painting through digital medium.“I wanted it to be digital, to almost feel unreal. I wanted the entire drawing itself to feel like a haze. There’s this kind of aura around her. Imagine you’ve been washed ashore, and you wake up and you see her” by @theprocessafrica

IS NIGERIA’S UNDERGROUND SCENE ALTE’s REBIRTH? In this edition of #fynprint, Editor-in-chief of @theprocessafrica, Ojuromi Rachel and writer, Kosanna Agubata share their observations and findings after a month of attending new wave events and speaking to those in the scene“The first realization was that the Alte scene opened its doors to everyone, but like all matters of the industry, the upper echelons of music chose who to pick and when to support these artists. However, one can make the argument that maybe these artists did not want to be mainstream.Click on the link in our bio to read the full storyImage creditsSlide 1: Mayor the Keed, Freewater, Digital Photography. 2025.Slide 2: Abdullahi Ali, Cruel Santino, Digital Photography. 2023Slide 3: Prince Rufus, Zaylevelten, Digital Photograph. 2025Slide 4: Mayor the Keed, Freewater, Digital Photograph. 2025Slide 5: IPhone image of Maeverse in BolapsdSlide 6, Peeko HD, Mavo’s event collage, Digital Photography, 2025Editor: Daniella Almona @daniellaalmona Special Contributor: Debby Fasingha @debbyfasingha by @theprocessafrica

But it is essential that you remember”This December, in partnership with @startarchiving, Meji Meji is archiving the moments and memories you want to live on. You can send in your photos through the link in the our bio and let Mama turn them into a family heirloom.Read the article to find out how to submit your photos and get your free album!Image creditsSlide 1: Daniella Almona, Childhood Home, Digital photography, 2024.Slide 2: Tolu Oye holding up a family albumSlide 3: Odey Ikpa, BRK, Digital photography, 2025 Slide 4: Double Double ministry by JesuDara HinmikaiyeSlide 5: Studio photograph from Irawo’s childhood by @theprocessafrica

Creative Directed by Lolu Pinheiro (@loluistheshit__) and photographed by Daniella Almona (@daniellaalmona) “She Be Dj Oh!” is a visual homage to the women redefining the rave scene. With body paint, styling and direction, this project reimagines female DJs as unreal cosmic forces that command the deck and redefine the night. They are electric, celestial and free. Created in awe of all female djs trailblazing the rave scene, these photographs are set against a vivid green backdrop symbolizing newness and growth. The work celebrates the magnetic wave of these women who move sound.“She Be Dj Oh!” is an assertion of presence, that women in the music scene are making a name for themselves and defying stereotypes rooted in misogyny and exclusion.Credits-Muses:@the_bankspromise ( Promise Worimegbe) X@ky.londonn ( Kyla Adegoroye)Creative Direction: @loluistheshit— (Lolu Pinheiro)Photographed by: @daniellaalmona ( Daniella Almona)As Styled by: @ziri__x (Chigozirim Efemena)Hair by : @nifemilarj (Ajoke Lawal)Makeup Artistry: @loludoesmakeup Photo Assist: @anu_abell Creative Assistant: @kingari.x (Akeusola Ariyike)Set Design : @amamazike (Amam Azike)Production : @omonovex x @everynoun (Asamaiige Ogaga) by @theprocessafrica

Ideated and executed in 3 days, “From origin to invention, 2025” is a collaborative photo project by Photographer and Creative Director @unavailable_______p and Stylist, @_babyyodaa The project explores the importance of the natural hair, it calls on us to remember that while beautiful, its essence is not entirely that. “The essence is to explore the story of the natural hair or crown, originally untouched, and, un-altered. Remembering that black hair is not just beautiful but also it is structure, memory, and architecture.” says @_babyyodaa Shaped and molded as it’s willed, the hair does so without losing its orginal form.
