We make films, editorial and photography about the people CH 01, places CH 02, communities CH 02 and ideas shaping Lagos.

It was evening, and I was ushered up through the orange building to the door of a dark cinema where the first film of the night, Nii Kwate Owoo’s You Hide Me, was just ending. I showed my free ticket at the door and went in.
The lights came on soon after I sat, and Ife, one of the curators, came to the front of the hall, mic in hand, and spoke briefly about the short film. A few questions from the audience followed, some of which he deferred to after the next film, and the lights faded out again. It was Mati Diop’s Dahomey.
The dramatised documentary follows the return of twenty-six out of the thousands of treasures looted from the kingdom of Dahomey, now present-day Benin Republic, by French colonial troops in 1892. A wooden statue of King Ghezo, who ruled Dahomey from 1818 to 1859, now object 26, narrates the film through an internal monologue spoken in Fon. We watch as he and his counterparts are sealed in wooden boxes and shipped back home to be put on display at a museum, presented with a fear not so different from 130 years ago: he is now alien to his own home and people.

A conversation with Enobong Albert: On learning through failure, killing your darlings, and discovering his voice
On the morning of this conversation I arrived, costume in hand, to a busy compound where a Basquiat-haired Albert was preparing his cast and crew for the first scene of the day. This compound was one…
